Reinventing Money Thomas H. Greco Jr. Free currencies overview. The vision in one sentence TheTransitioner is working on the next currency system for humanity: a distributed platform for millions of free currencies to flow through the Net and our cell phones. In more depth Money is an information system. It's made to measure and balance flows in the real world.

Money needs not to be scarce otherwise it turns the world into artificial scarcity, even when resources are abundant. Money is about to follow the same path the media did these past years. Dotcoms (eBay, Google...) will likely be the first to understand that their real business model stands in this new paradigm rather than the old scarcity model in which they grew. The Free Currencies Project (also called Metacurrency project) consists in creating the open global interoperable infrastructure for these millions currencies to be easily issued and put in circulation, in a peer-to-peer way. User interfaces will be sexy, user friendly and irresistible. What problem or issue does it address? Plate-forme pour mutualiser des outils, des informations et de la documentation sur les MLC "papier" et convertibles - Monnaies.

Big Picture interview with Ithaca hours founder, Paul Glover

This is largely due to the groundwork and commitment of Paul Glover. We caught up with him in Holland to find out how he sees the CC world. What are the questions you would most want to explore with fellow movers and shakers in the complementary currency movement? The comparability of local currencies with digital currency. Systems of intertrade and clearance between all these currencies, with standards of confederation to validate each currency´s integrity and vitality. What recent developments in the field do you find most exciting? The variety and volume of innovation. And what do you see as key challenges, obstacles or blind spots which hinder the movement’s success? Its all about networking: we must have professional networkers so that community currencies become an institution, not a hobby. Hetecon.com - The Heterodox Economics Portal. Cc-literature.org.

Forum des associations 01-2011, « Repenser le développement : la société civile s'engage » - Natures Sciences Sociétés - Dialogues

Près de 600 participants sur les trois journées, une quarantaine de stands, une centaine d’associations représentées… Merci à tous les participants ! L’intégralité des contenus est déjà en ligne. L’objectif de ce Forum était de rassembler le plus largement possible les acteurs associatifs qui œuvrent à des titres divers à co-construire un autre modèle de développement et de société.

L’une des voies privilégiées de cette démarche passe par un décloisonnement entre le milieu scientifique et les autres acteurs de la société civile, afin notamment d’interroger toutes les formes de production de la connaissance pour l’action.
