Zoé sur la monnaie | J'ai 25 ans en 2050. Je m’appelle Zoé. Je suis née en 2025, peu de temps après le grand renversement. Lorsque l’on me demanda ce qu’était la monnaie pour moi, je n’ai d’abord pas bien compris la question. J’avais bien sûr étudié en Histoire de l’Humanité et compris le rôle qu’avait joué cet outil important sur l’époque industrielle comme j’avais étudié l’effet de la religion sur les 2 premiers millénaires après Jésus Christ, mais il m’a fallu un grand travail de recherche et d’analyse pour bien comprendre ce qu’il reste aujourd’hui dans notre société de traces de monnaie qui puissent correspondre à ce qu’elle était à l’époque économique de la croissance de la fin du 20ème siècle. Ce que je peux reconnaître comme monnaie dans ma vie au quotidien ne sont que des points, des indicateurs que j’ai sur mon Passeport Citoyen qui me permettent de vérifier que j’ai bien respecté mes Droits de Citoyenne du Monde et contribué à mes Devoirs.

How a Restaurant With No Cash Registers and No Prices Makes Money - Amy Sullivan. A Panera Cares Café looks just like any of the other 1,600 Panera locations around the United States: the same striped awnings, the same comfortable booths, the same ridiculously tasty Cobblestone Rolls that will add 10 pounds if you so much as look at them. But look closer and you'll notice something unusual for a restaurant chain that brings in more than $3 billion each year.
There are no prices listed next to items on the menu boards and no cash registers. Instead, donation boxes sit on the counter, with signs telling customers: "Take what you need; leave your fair share. " Panera cashiers take meal orders, hand patrons receipts indicating how much the items would normally cost, and let them decide how much to leave in the donation box or to take off their credit cards. Panera Bread opened its first pay-what-you-can store in a St. The bet Panera has placed is that other customers will pay more than their meal costs in order to subsidize those who cannot afford to pay full-price.

German merchant Joseph Stoeckl shows off the Bavarian "Chiemgauer" micro-currency at his store in Chiemsee. (AP) People everywhere are fed up with the status quo of the economy. With the passion our official institutions show for this tepid "recovery," many are concluding that progress will come not from the current system, which is after all what got us here in the first place, but from their own ingenuity and inventiveness. In pockets around the world, folks are declaring economic independence by starting small, local, but potentially revolutionary alternative currencies that could change not only how we buy goods and services -- but how we relate to one other in society. Local Currencies, Local Economies Brixton is one of four "Transition Towns" in the United Kingdom -- the others are Totnes, Lewes, and Stroud -- currently using local currencies. An Alternative System. Alternative currencies: as good as their entry/exit points? With the lasting economic crisis, in Europe and the rest of the world, the focus on alternative currencies seems to have increased.
For example the Wall Street Journal has covered extensively the development of such currencies in Spain: Another famous example is the Brixton pound. At the same the dramatic reduction in IT development and infrastructure costs powered by open source technology and cloud services has allowed an explosion of alternative digital currencies.

La monnaie aujourd’hui est unique. Le même euro, le même dollar servent à la fois à acheter des biens matériels rivaux, qui ne peuvent être consommés que par une seule personne à la fois, et des biens immatériels non rivaux, qui peuvent être consommés par plusieurs personnes à la fois. Or, la monnaie fonctionne sur un principe d’échange à somme nulle adapté aux biens rivaux – l’euro qui m’appartient ne t’appartient pas – alors que l’économie devient de plus en plus immatérielle.
L’histoire de la monnaie est à peu près aussi ancienne que l’histoire des civilisations : elle est profondément ancrée dans le matériel. Les premières unités de compte étaient souvent dérivées des unités de poids, puis les métaux ont pris le relais, avant le papier et la monnaie électronique. Les formes de l’échange sont de plus en plus immatérielles, mais le système à somme nulle reste quasiment le même. Dangereux pour la planète, le gonflement artificiel de la bulle monétaire l’est aussi.
Giving It Away, Making Money (2008) at Lin.OSS.Gov. The burgeoning “Internet Economy” is redefining operational assumptions and models for all organizations within the public and private sectors. This is particularly evident as free access to information increases and the clash between open source and proprietary development of software intensifies.

Quelle monnaie pour demain ? Article PC Expert Monnaies.pdf uploaded by @dinobendiab (Dino Be. TIME FOR A NEW THEORY OF MONEY. Ellen Brown, October 27th, 2010 The reason our financial system has routinely gotten into trouble, with periodic waves of depression like the one we’re battling now, may be due to a flawed perception not just of the roles of banking and credit but of the nature of money itself. In our economic adolescence, we have regarded money as a “thing”—something independent of the relationship it facilitates. But today there is no gold or silver backing our money.
Instead, it’s created by banks when they make loans (that includes Federal Reserve Notes or dollar bills, which are created by the Federal Reserve, a privately-owned banking corporation, and lent into the economy). Virtually all money today originates as credit, or debt, which is simply a legal agreement to pay in the future. Money as Relationship The concept of money-as-a-commodity can be traced back to the use of precious metal coins. The Credit Revolution The Public Credit Solution. New memes for a new society « Beyond Money. Economic transformation is coming on so fast it’s impossible to keep up with it all. Among the most significant developments are changing attitudes about work, saving, investing, and communication.
A vexing question heretofore has been “how to finance projects that promote the common good?” Fortunately, people seem increasingly willing to invest their resources in projects that have evident potential for creating a better world, without any promise of providing any direct personal return on investment. This phenomenon, called crowd sourcing, has spurred the recent emergence of several websites that connect projects with donors.
One of the new offerings on that site is, Symbionomics: Stories of a New Economy, a project of film maker Alan Rosenblith, who produced the film, The Money Fix, which features comments by a number of monetary “experts,” including yours truly. We’ve outlined 12 patterns (or memes) of the new economy, and are creating simple, memorable icons for each one. Like this: World must abandon paper reserve currencies - Outside the Box. By Lewis E. Lehrman GREENWICH, Conn. (MarketWatch) — Federal budget deficits and balance-of-payment deficits have radically increased since World War II. Today’s dollar has lost 85% of its value since 1971.

How To Prepare For When Money Dies | ZeroHedge Doug Casey: Submitted by Casey Research An eye-opening interview with renowned speculator Doug Casey, conducted by Karen Roche and JT Long of The Gold Report.
Doug explains why fiat currencies around the world are destined for collapse… and what investors can, and should, do to protect themselves. If dollar-dumping turns from a trickle into a flood, look out. Exploding prices (aka exorbitant inflation) resulting from the devaluation of the dollar will compound the problems we saw in 2007–2009. Catastrophe will come when everybody realizes that the dollar is an "IOU nothing.
" The Gold Report: You've been talking about two ticking time bombs. Doug Casey: Both, but in sequence. Nobody knows the numbers for sure, but foreign central banks, and individuals outside the U.S., own U.S. dollars to the tune of something like $6 or $7 trillion. Some countries are already trying to get out of dollars, but it could become a panic if the selling goes from a trickle to a flood. DC: They would become super-cheap.

Money: A New Beginning. This essay is the first in a two-part series. An irremediable structural flaw lies at the base of our civilization. I call it Separation, and it has generated all the converging crises -- economic, health, ecological, and political -- of our day. It manifests as separation from each other in the dissolution of community, separation from nature in the destruction of the environment, separation within our selves in the deterioration of health. Science is its deep ideology, technology is its accomplice, and money is its agent. Money as we know it today is intimately related to our identity as discrete and separate selves, as well as to the destruction that our separation has wrought. For indeed, we live in a world of fundamental abundance, a world where vast quantities of food, energy, and materials go to waste.
Money utterly fails to connect gifts and needs. This characteristic appears, in different forms, in the other substructures of our civilization as well. And so it happened. Money: A New Beginning (Part 2) Reality Sandwich Money: A New Beginning (Part 2) Written by: Charles Eisenstein Jump to Section Written By: Charles Eisenstein Prosperity is relating, not acquiring. – Tom Brown, Jr. Our present monetary system generates a necessity for endless growth, embodies linear thinking, defies the cyclical patterns of nature, and drives the relentless conversion of all forms of wealth into currency.
Given the determining role of interest, the first alternative currency system to consider is one that structurally eliminates it. If this sounds like a radical proposal that could never work, it may surprise you to learn that no less an authority than John Maynard Keynes praised the theoretical soundness of Gesell's ideas (with one critical caveat [1]). The best-known example was instituted in the town of Worgl, Austria, in 1932. A similar story transpired in the United States.
