No Inflation. No Debt. Only Love.

Description

Boudewijn Wegeriff born in Holland in 1936, grew up in South Africa, and now a British citizen living in Sweden. A born-again Christian, wandering-preacher: He goes on extensive walking pilgrimages and gives talks on debt, money, inflation and how to solve all related problems with love. In 1990, he walked to Rome from Uppsala, Sweden; then from South Africa back to Sweden. Over 7 years he walked the world and gave thousands of talks on the theme of love’s victory over the debt cross of the world. This pamphlet is a collection of 19 articles on money by Boudewijn: “The debts owned by big banks”; “world debts and the ‘Third World’ debt”; and one simply entitled “I N F L A T I O N”. From page 8: “But how will people live? What work will there be there for them? Love’s work -including songs of thanksgiving. Quite seriously! The production and distribution of goods and the organisation of social services will, in a non-monied environment, be in-community work, done for love, not money.” The writing gets odd. For example from the last page: “We are brothers, sisters and mothers, even of Jesus, who acknowledged only one daddy, ABBA, and for whom we are activists.” One can’t help but feel a certain amount of overlap with Item D36 of this List (the wandering inflation preacher). Exceedingly scarce. Only 2 copies in OCLC (of which only one in the United States, at Michigan). For more on Boudwijn, a 1998 two part documentary on his travels entitled “Long Walk Home” can be found on YouTube.
