4th International Summer School on
Social Banking
“Money rules the world – who rules the money?”
Save the date: 3rd to 8 July 2011, in Canterbury, UK
About money
Money rules the world. Or as famous banker Mayer
Anselm Rothschild puts it: “Permit me to issue and
control money of a nation and I care not who makes
its laws.“ In a market economy, money is the decisive
factor to realize projects and businesses, to realize
how we live. Money enables and initiates, it makes
activities possible. Without money, we cannot live
our lives today. However, accepting money as our
ruler, we tend to forget that money is actually made
by us. Without human beings, money would not
exist. So, who decides how money rules the world?
At the 4th International Summer School on Social Banking, we want to reflect on where the money
in our societies actually goes. Through money, investments and loans, we shape our economy and
our society. So we have to ask ourselves: What is it that is financed? How are the investment
decisions taken? Who takes them? What are the rules of the game and who sets these? How can
we influence where the money goes?
Who rules the money?
Some of the planned topics
Every International Summer School on Social Banking introduces Social Banking and Finance in
general and in addition focuses on a main topic; in 2011: “Money rules the world – who rules the
money?”. Under this motto, we will raise awareness on our abilities to design money and by this,
design society.
The following topics will be covered specifically:
• What is money?
• Growth and Size (economic growth, organisational growth/size)
• Reporting and Measuring Social and Environmental impact
• Regulation: (How) can there be a “one size fits all” banking regulation?
• Competences of “the Social Banker”: What does Social Banking look like in terms of skills and
career opportunities?
• Social Banking and Social Enterprise: How is the relationship?
• Best practices of Social Banking and Social Finance
• Potential for Change
