Parallel text and audio: "Mit Antigeld gegen die Bankenkrise"

Long time no post! So, I haven't yet written the posts I planned on yet, but I have done another parallel translation. This time it's an interesting little article about a physicist who's come up with a plan to introduce "anti-money" into the financial system to replace debt and interest and to bring stability to the world. Of course, it'll never happen because it (a) seems impractical and (b) would reduce the destabilising speculation that makes the very rich very much richer. So, it's doomed. Still, have a listen to the article and read along with my parallel translation where necessary. Here is the original text which I translated, along with a link to the audio:

And you can find my parallel translation (i.e., like all the others, side-by-side with the original text) here:
