Werner Economics

Hosted by Werner Economics

A German economist presents his heterodox theories on money creation and critiques global power structures like central banks, the EU, and CBDCs.

The brief

This channel is a platform for Professor Richard Werner's lectures, speeches, and commentary. He presents his heterodox economic theories, primarily the 'Quantity Theory of Credit,' which posits that commercial banks create the majority of the money supply. He uses this framework to critique global institutions like the EU and central banks, and to warn against policies such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which he views as a move towards centralized control and a "digital prison."

The channel is a direct outlet for a single academic's specific, often contrarian, worldview. Unlike broader economics shows, it is intensely focused on Werner's own theories and his consistent warnings against what he portrays as a coordinated global agenda for totalitarian control.
