Money and Meaning

This group considers how economics can catapult us into ways of the golden age. We contemplate and develop economic forms and money creation schemes which promote cooperation and generosity. What can cause parallel growth of exchanges and kindness?See More

But don’t think for a moment it’s just about getting free stuff (although that’s nice too). It goes much deeper than that and its full span of impacts need to be appreciated.

As these experiences become commonplace in a…See More

Mark Szpakowski replied to Brian Landever's discussion Brainstorming Local Currencies
