Chris Hamer (Australia) in conversation with Nico Andreas Heller
Peace. Security. Prosperity. For All. Forever.
For some years now, Chris Hamer has been a passionate advocate for a unified democratic community that increases the incentives for all nations to adhere to the rules-based order necessary for peace, security and prosperity.
In this dialogue Chris takes stock, reflects on some of the geopolitical challenges the international community currently faces – war in Ukraine, geopolitical realignments, the energy crisis etc – and looks at how these will impact his campaign for the creation of a World Security Community.
More information about Chris Hamer and his work is available here. The website of the Coalition for a World Security Community of Democratic Nations can be found here.
Unfortunately, we lost the connection with Chris during the live stream temporarily and also had a few other technical issues. We have since tried to edit these disruptions out, but due to our limited technical capabilities, the cuts remain visible. We hope you will still enjoy the discussion.

Erratum Notice
Delton Chen apologises for making a mistake at time 22:42 (see link to video). He said that the central bank balance sheet includes "assets and debts". He meant to say "assets and liabilities". Central banks will purchase the carbon currency as their "asset", and the new fiat that they will create will be recorded as their "liability" (i.e. not as their "debt"). |
