The official website In Memoriam
Bernard Lietaer
* 07.02.1942 † 04.02.2019
During his lifetime, Bernard Lietaer was best known for his work on the subject of money. During his exemplary career in finance he also became aware of the systemic problems of our economic and monetary systems. This first led to an interest in the history of money and its importance for all walks of modern life. Reflecting on the need for change to achieve sustainability and social justice in face of multiple crises, he became the most prominent advocate and sought-after innovator in what he termed “complementary currencies”, including “crypto”.
His preoccupation with spiritual matters and arts was largely hidden from the public. In commissioning a biography shortly before his death, he wanted all aspects of his life to become known. On this website, we present the extensive material he generated in 50 prolific years. More then ever, Bernard Lietaer’s work is fundamental to the urgent issues of economic sustainability, environmental protection and human development. This website aims to disseminate his ideas and insights for all alive today and the generations to come.
