What will we do?
What is wealth? How is it created and how is it destroyed? How is it distributed? What does the monetary system have to do with it?
We will explore these questions together during the meetup. The host (not an expert) will present a few basic economic concepts and encourage discussions.
IMPORTANT: We will not and cannot give investment advice and cannot accept responsibility for your potential future losses. None of us has any formal training in banking, finances or economics. We are not financial advisors!
Organization
You are worried you have nothing to contribute? No worries! Everyone is welcome!
There always is a mix of German and English speakers and we configure the discussion rounds so that everyone feels comfortable participating. The primary language is English.
This meetup will be hosted by Nawid.
There will be snacks and drinks.
We will go and get dinner after the meetup. Anyone who has time is welcome to join.
