Own words
'Smithy' has degrees in mathematics and economics, and she works as a consultant calculating investment risk for financial institutions, For this reason, she has chosen not to reveal her real name. She began to question the validity of the monetary system, and to look into its undemocratic and harmful effects after discovering Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman on her community radio station. The program is intended to be a course in understanding the monetary system of global capitalism and why it produces certain social conditions.
