Greco, Jr.O =J@Reinventing Money06 The emergent path toward peace, harmony, and equity. "75"[-%Why Does Money Need to Be Reinvented?Throughout the world, money has become an instrument of political power. Money and banking are manipulated by and for limited private interests. Political money is exploitative, dysfunctional, and undemocratic. D7Two Parasitic Elements of the Conventional Money System[Interest Collected by the banking cartel Inflation Caused by government deficit spending p ! ' ,  ,&,8How is Political Money Dysfunctional and Exploitative?RPolitical money is inefficient and inequitable  many needs go unmet because the supply of money is deficient. Periodic cycles of depression and inflation derive from the actions of central banks. Money concentrates power and wealth  the rich get richer; everyone else gets poorer. Who decides whose interests will be favored? Conventional political money causes social and international conflict and ecological destruction.ZX*Roots of the Money ProblemGeneral misconceptions about the nature of money, banking, credit, and exchange. General but erroneous belief that money should be centrally issued and controlled by governments or central banks.Z"~CThe Promise of Free Money FPolitical democracy can go no further in freeing man until it is itself emancipated by economic democracy whose sheathed sword is money. -- E. C. Riegel Money is inherently free. When it comes, free and uncontrolled trade, stimulated by the hope of gain, will dissolve all our economic problems. -- E. C. RiegeljPPPP U&What Is Money, Anyway?$&There are various ways to define money. Practical Definition  its distinguishing feature Money is anything that is generally accepted in payment.D[9("1f9 c1What Is Money?$Functional Definition  what money does Money is a: Medium of exchange Measure of value Store of value>44#f 4d2What Is Money?$Essential Definition  what money is Money is credit that is allocated and managed through an accounting or information systemH&Z"f K V(0The Primary Role of Money Is to Mediate ExchangeLExchange is a fundamental necessity in advanced civilizations. Most of what we need, we get by trade. When the division of labor has been once thoroughly established, it is but a very small part of a man s wants which the produce of his own labor can supply.  Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations.hfW)%How is Political Money Dysfunctional?Money is kept artificially scarce. Money is expensive because interest is charged. Money is misallocated at its source. Political money forces artificial growth. $NWhy is Money Scarce?HMoney, today, is mainly bank credit. It is created when banks make  loans.  Borrowers must pay interest on every dollar. Debt grows faster than the money supply.O Why Is Money Expensive? Borrowers must pay interest on every dollar of bank-credit money. This interest burden makes money expensive to use, and adds unnecessary costs to every stage of production and distribution. P!"Why and How Is Money Misallocated?The allocation of money is done by banks making  loans. Some are given access to credit while others are denied. Some receive favorable terms (low interest; minimal collateral), while others are not. The political money system starves productive enterprise but finances lavishly the destructive activities of war. -- E. C Riegel lZZZrfx?1How Does Political money Destabilize the Economy?hCompound interest causes debts to grow with the passage of time, but the money supply can be expanded only by banks making additional loans, so the amount of money available to repay bank loans is always deficient. Manipulation of interest rates upsets the natural adjustment mechanisms. Monetization of government debt by banks dilutes the value of all money.iZi|ADebt Grows Exponentially j4The Political Money System(nBanks, in effect, monetize the value of the collateral assets. They call this practice,  making a loan, even though nothing is loaned. Banks charge interest on these  loans. That turns  credit money into interest-bearing  debt money, Which results in a growth imperative and destabilizes the entire economy.F8Z ff&i3].(What Is the Answer to the Money Problem?The exchange process can and must be liberated. Sound and credible exchange media can emerge from a variety of sources. There is no need for the exchange process to be limited by centralized power, i.e., governments or banks. F00Y+Guiding PrinciplesJustice requires free exchange. Free exchange is more efficient in distributing goods and services. Free exchange requires markets and money that are free from monopoly control. Government involvement in money almost always establishes privilege not freedom. 6 F%Toward an Independent Payment System&&(Free credit clearing bypasses the dysfunctions of conventional political money and enables: Free exchange, Full employment, Avoidance of economic crises, inflation, and deflation.\Zk8Alternatives to Debt MoneyMutual credit clearing associations and private currencies can reduce the need for conventional, bank-created, debt-money. Private exchange systems and complementary currencies are simply expressions of the right of contract, and are perfectly legal. B$y@'Money is Being Reinvented at All LevelsThe grassroots level LETSystems and local currencies The business level Trade exchanges, or  barter exchanges, and countertrade The governmental level Circulating provincial bonds and local tax credit certificates Z ZZ9ZZ?ZZ  ,  ?  p=7Private Community Currencies Have Many Direct Benefits ECan be created interest-free and spent into circulation as a substitute for bank financing. Are independent of outside manipulation of interest rates and money supply. Can be democratically allocated to benefit the needs of the community. Because they recirculate locally, they promote the health of the entire local economy.FPFq>&Advantages of Complementary CurrenciesrAbundant supply Created as needed, they supplement the supply of scarce official currency. Low cost, no interest Democratically allocated Gives local suppliers preference over imports Reduced risk of default  A promise to deliver goods or services is less speculative than a promise to repay a loan of money. fZKZwZgZZKQ"What People Can DoOrganize mutual credit clearing associations and networks. Collectively issue local currencies or trading coupons to supplement official money. Mutual aid and barter amongst themselves. Form trading clubs and hold trading  fairs. R#The Business CommunityForm mutual credit associations for clearing payments due to one another. Issue  purchasing certificates or community currency to the general public, backed by their ability to provide goods and services. S$Local and Regional GovernmentsFIssue  tax credit certificates or  tax anticipation warrants to finance operations. Issue  community improvement bonds to finance infrastructure developments. T%National GovernmentsRenounce legal tender laws. Repeal laws that give privileged status to particular banks and currencies. Do not interfere with private exchange systems or privately issued currencies.Z"`0National GovernmentsA national government can issue its own currency, but in amounts limited to its anticipated revenues over a one year period. It should issue its currency directly from the treasury (by spending it into circulation). It should be required to accept its currency back, at par, in payment of fees and taxes. But no one else should be required to accept it at par. The market should be free to refuse it or discount it. 6Z Z,)Basic Requirements of Any Currency SystemRTransparent operation and open records. Properly issued on the basis of value being exchanged, in amounts proportionate to the goods and services produced and ready to be sold. Clear agreement about the rights and responsibilities of the issuers and users. Anyone who emits a currency must be willing to accept it back in payment, at par.,SPK""Benefits of Free Money and Banking7Multiple competing exchange alternatives lead to more efficient, lower cost exchange. When exchange media are abundant, no real needs are left unsatisfied because of lack of money. More equitable access to credit. More equitable distribution of production. Reduced unemployment. The end of boom and bust cycles.8Z8$What can You do?$ tLearn about money and the exchange process. Join or start a mutual credit or community currency group. Promote exchange alternatives among the local business community and municipal or provincial governments. Lobby higher levels of government to eliminate special privileges in money and banking, and to remove legal impediments, if any, to private exchange alternatives. uZu^/2To Learn More and Keep Up-to-date on DevelopmentsExplore the websites: ReinventingMoney.com circ2.home.mindspring.com Read, Money: Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender, by Thomas H.
