Comment on The System is Broken – time to build a new one by KingofthePaupers

“We need new invigorated local economic activity. One example is to develop local currencies, local capital exchanges and local systems of barter. Local currencies can be used to reward social activity, such as work with children, youth, elderly, the environment.”

Jct: Right, but make sure link to the Time Standard of Money so your unit of exchange is compatible with the rest of the world.

Fred, Thanks for that. It’s mostly my students driving me to put certain thoughts on-line. However, it’s despair at our poor country as much as anything. Best wishes, Mark.

John,
Thanks for that. I agree – it’s not utopian, it’s here and it’s needed.
Best wishes,
Mark.

“Local currencies and local credit systems might be developed which would provide the means for a renewed community economy providing a basic stream of goods and services. Local currencies could be utilised to reward useful social activity such as work with children, with our young people, our elderly and environmental enhancement.”

Jct: It’s already spreading around the world. With Africa trading with mobile-phone minutes, Arabia trading with mobile-phone card credits, with Hours being traded in Ithaca, with Greencredits being traded in LETS, the banks get no interest. And the movement to cut the middleman out of the usury is growing.
When the local currency is pegged to the Time Standard of Money (how many dollars per hour of volunteer labor, children too) Hours earned locally can be intertraded with other timebanks globally! In 1999, I paid for 39/40 nights in Europe with an IOU for a night back in Canada worth 5 Hours. You can too.
U.N. Millennium Declaration UNILETS Resolution C6 to governments is for a time-based currency to restructure the global financial architecture.
See http://youtube.com/kingofthepaupers on growth of the international time-trading network.

What is outlined here is not utopian.

Jct: It is utopian. It’s good engineering.

Long a supporter. I wish you well, and in your endeavours. I’m a mature student and have just written my thesis. It’s called ‘The service station, a manifestation of Globalisation?’ It was an eye opener. You have a lot of support in the Pale also. How lucky we are to have you people in the west doing this work for us in Ireland, in relation to the GAS. You are not forgotten. Very Best Wishes. Up the West.

Hi everyone. What should I do when my credit card expires? I’ve received a new credit card offer in the mailbox which is the replacement of the expired one. But the features seem to be different. Do I risk accepting the offer? I think that it is better to go to a web resource and make an application there. Quite a good place to do it is discoery card Ne72Ma9rod
