'If we want to achieve a different society where the principle of
money operates equitably, if we want to abolish the power money has
developed over people historically, and position money in
relationship to freedom, equality and fraternity ...then we must
elaborate a concept of culture and a concept of art where every
person must be an artist...' - Joseph Beuys. The world of finance
exerts a huge influence over our lives, being responsible for
economic turmoil and seemingly interminable peaks and crashes.
Whereas money was once a simple means of exchange, today it is a
commodity in itself and as 'capital' exerts power over individuals,
degrading work to tradable labour. Can we find a new way of
understanding money today, so that we can begin to overcome its
destructive aspects? In November 1984, a remarkable discussion took
place at the Meeting House in Ulm, Germany. It featured the radical
artist Joseph Beuys, two professors (of Financial Sciences and
Political Economics) and a banker. Beuys would appear to be out of
place among these heavyweight academics, professionals and authors.
But rather than being intimidated by his fellow panellists, Beuys -
also a social and political activist - demonstrates his
groundbreaking thinking on the subject, and his ability to bring
fresh perspectives. Here for the first time is a transcript of this
debate, together with analysis by Ulrich Rosch, which will be of
equal interest to artists, economists and spiritual seekers.
