It’s time our elected leaders learn how money works
(2024)- Abstract
- Although understanding money creation is fundamental to addressing our economic and environmental problems, few of those we trust to make decisions about our future know how money works. Monetary schools are therefore sorely needed. Fortunately, there are many. Since 2008, a wide variety of citizen groups around the world have started local monies. Some municipalities are building on those lessons to implement municipal currencies themselves, as tools to advance urban sustainability and social inclusion.
