A New Book ... Three authors [Prof. Dr. Margrit
Kennedy, Bernard LIETAER and John Rogers] with decades of experience
have teamed up to provide an up-to-date, state-of-the art field guide to
the emerging movement of regional currencies. People Money describes a
global movement of people creating their own currencies to support
regional business and strengthen their communities. These currencies
operate legally alongside Bank Money and Government Money,
giving people new choices in an age of transition from outworn
financial structures to an era of sustainable abundance ... The
currencies profiles include: Brixton Pound in London; The Business
Exchange in Scotland; Blaengarw Time Centre in South Wales; Community
Exchange System in South Africa; Chiemgauer in Germany; BerkShares,
Equal Dollars, Ithaca HOURS and Dane County Time Bank in the USA; and
many others. – Amazon
