Discourse lecture - Art and money

Christina von Braun, professor of cultural sciences HU Berlin, author of the scientific work Der Preis des Geldes.

Through the multiplication of money one does not have the gold standard any more. Today where money is only an electronic impulse, millions can be provided with extra zeros. And that is the problem: thus far in the same way that money has multiplied, it approaches nothing. Does that mean our wealth would collapse? No, there is one savior: Art.
