The consensus in the group is that there is a necessity for change, in the direction of an ethical financial system. Currently a few thousand of people are actively involved in B of Joy as: volunteer, sympathizer, holder of member certificates, sponsor or participant. Together with you, our team wants to create a joyful future for our country and our planet. Are you fed up with the way things are? Are you ready to be the change?

The B of Joy lectures and interviews

Have you ever had the feeling that something isn’t right with our society and our economy? Have you ever asked yourself why we live from a place of scarcity? Why, after national elections, promises are always broken and there are always cutbacks in government spending? Why our national debt just keeps increasing, despite these cutbacks and extra taxes, while more and more public services are being privatized? Why is our money worth less and less? Why do we pay interest on a mortgage? What is money actually, and where does it come from? Why do the rich get richer and the poor poorer? Why? Are there any answers?

Advice

 

Under 'advice' you'll find possibilities to halt austerity measures. As well as a plan to create 250.000 jobs, without extra government spending. An alternative for the 'Casino' pension and a solution for the current financial crisis, which will make people a lot happier. As a grass roots initiative by professionals we advise government bodies, organizations and individual people, because we know significant change is possible.

 

An alternative for 8 billion in austerity measures

 

The central government intends to cut spending with some additional 6 to 8 billion in 2014. These measures are to be realized by raising taxes and decreasing facilities for the citizenry. B of Joy and its supporters are of the opinion that the bill for these measures should be handed to the parties that caused the current crisis and not to the citizenry.

We will show you possibilities of resolving our national deficit by means of a new banking system. Our society is not aware of the gravity of many of the financial and economic problems in our country.

We could have saved €93 billion in interest payments

In the Netherlands we finance our national debt by selling government obligations to anonymous, expensive and unpredictable capital markets. Since 1970 we could have saved €93 billion on interest on our national debt. Knowing this, from now on, we can save huge amounts of interest paid on the national debt.
