Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of local currencies Communities everywhere are challenged by issues such as health, elder and child care, housing, education, food security and the environment. On the surface, these problems appear to be rooted in economic crisis-forexample budget cuts have triggered reduced public services, soaring food prices have created food security concerns, and the subprime mortgage disaster has spawned record increases in foreclosures and homelessness. However if communities could match their unmet needs with their underutilized resources, many would find that while their economies may bestruggling when measured in traditional terms, they possess enough genuine wealth to allow all their inhabitants to enjoy a vastly improved quality of life. Creating Wealth demonstrates how a healthy society can beattained through developing new systems of exchange. Using creative initiatives such as time banks, systems of barter and exchange and local currencies, cities and towns can empower themselves and build vibrant, healthy, sustainable local economies. In addition to presenting many compelling case studies of successful alternative currencies in action, Creating Wealth also explores the different types of capital that communities have to draw on, including natural, built, social, human, institutional, cultural, technological, and financial. This book will appeal to community activists, city planners and other public officials, and anyone interested in developing strong local economies. Gwendolyn Hallsmith is the founder and director of Global Community Initiatives and the author of The Key to Sustainable Cities . Bernard Lietaer is the world's leading authority on complementary currencies and the author of The Future of Money .

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 15 years, local money networks, which are essentially trading networks using a community-created currency, have emerged in countries as far apart as Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, Canada and the US, continental Europe and Japan. They range from Local Exchange Trading Schemes (UK), to Time Dollars (US), Green Dollars (New Zealand, Australia and Canada), Trading Circles (Hungary), Barter Networks (Argentina) and Talents (Germany). Drawing on an ethnographic case study of alternative currency movements in Manchester, UK, this book provides an analysis of the motivations, aims, successes and failures of alternative currency networks. It also raises questions such as the contribution of the alternative currency movement to current debates about alternatives to neoliberalism. While it is theoretically informed, critical and grounded in fieldwork, it is also sympathetic to the political aims of the protagonists and cognisant of the non-economic benefits that arise from their development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Local Currency A local currency is a type of currency that can be used to make purchases at participating organizations within a specific geographical area. This type of currency is used in economics. The difference between a community currency and a regional currency is that the former may be local, while the latter may be used for transaction within an online community. Regional currencies include a greater geographical area than community currencies do. To stimulate spending inside a local community, particularly with locally owned enterprises, a local currency serves as a complimentary currency to a national currency rather than replacing it. Its primary objective is to encourage spending within the community. It is possible that such currencies are not accepted as legal cash and are not supported by a national government. The worldwide database maintained by the Complementary Currency Resource Center has listings for over 300 complementary currencies, which also includes local currencies. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Local currency Chapter 2: Barter Chapter 3: Currency Chapter 4: Local exchange trading system Chapter 5: Virtual economy Chapter 6: Time-based currency Chapter 7: Complementary currency Chapter 8: Chiemgauer Chapter 9: Private currency Chapter 10: Demurrage (currency) Chapter 11: WIR Bank Chapter 12: Virtual currency Chapter 13: Money Chapter 14: Totnes pound Chapter 15: The Future of Money Chapter 16: Margrit Kennedy Chapter 17: Emissions Reduction Currency System Chapter 18: Fiscal localism Chapter 19: Community Exchange System Chapter 20: Bristol pound Chapter 21: Sarafu-Credit (II) Answering the public top questions about local currency.

Book excerpt: If we turn to the questions “what is money and what not money is?” and “what is barter and what is not barter?” economists lead us down a path to incoherence and useless definitions. Barter is probably the most misunderstood economic function on the planet. The outcome is that economists have a broad definition of money and a narrow definition of barter, so broad and so narrow, respectively, that they are useless. They also lead to incoherent and inconsistent outcomes. Hence the analysis of money, proceeds from the principle that all essential phenomena of economic life are capable of being described in terms of goods and services, of decisions about them and of relations between them. Money spontaneously enters the picture in order to mediate transactions via its existence as a numeraire of exchange value, it does not affect the economic process of trade. It is man’s varying skills and different needs that prompted the exchange of goods and services. Thus came the need for a form of valuation that would determine how much or how many one kind of commodity should be exchanged with another good of a different quantity (or mass and volume). This ancient predicament of setting fair trade values gave birth to crude valuation tools and solutions, like counting and weighing. Thus the spontaneous emission of a numeraire to mediate barter based instantaneous exchanges of goods and services was observed. Its existence is a natural by-product of trade, it is not the creation of man or law, money is born solely from trade, and hence without trade money cannot exist. All instantaneous barter based exchanges, emit monetary exchange value. This foundational understanding, addresses the centauries of incoherent inconsistencies of economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Currency of Empire, Jonathan Barth explores the intersection of money and power in the early years of North American history, and he shows how the control of money informed English imperial action overseas. The export-oriented mercantile economy promoted by the English Crown, Barth argues, directed the plan for colonization, the regulation of colonial commerce, and the politics of empire. The imperial project required an orderly flow of gold and silver, and thus England's colonial regime required stringent monetary regulation. As Barth shows, money was also a flash point for resistance; many colonists acutely resented their subordinate economic station, desiring for their local economies a robust, secure, and uniform money supply. This placed them immediately at odds with the mercantilist laws of the empire and precipitated an imperial crisis in the 1670s, a full century before the Declaration of Independence. The Currency of Empire examines what were a series of explosive political conflicts in the seventeenth century and demonstrates how the struggle over monetary policy prefigured the patriot reaction to the Stamp Act and so-called Intolerable Acts on the eve of American independence. Thanks to generous funding from the Arizona State University and George Mason University, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access (OA) volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other Open Access repositories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First, the book documents the evolution of Asia's infrastructure over the past half-century and reviews existing literature on the role of infrastructure investment in supporting growth and social development. It highlights the positive impact of mass transit investments on land and property values, and the possibility of taxing the increase in values to finance these investments. It then examines Asia's current practices and new solutions that can help meet the infrastructure gap. It discusses the role of institutions, how innovation can foster energy infrastructure investments, and the role of bond markets in infrastructure investments. The book explores ASEAN+3 efforts in developing local currency bond markets to provide long-term local financing for infrastructure investment while providing financial resilience. It also examines the use of green bonds to finance sustainable growth in Asia.

The seventy different designs or “type” notes are eagerly sought today by collectors, historians and family historians, and a collection of Confederate currency offers fascinating insights into the tumultuous Civil-War period.

This easy-to-read, fun and educational book offers an introduction to the often beautiful notes that financed the Confederacy.

Despite this, the Mundell-Fleming benchmark and its variants focus on pricing in the producer’s currency or in local currency. We model instead a ‘dominant currency paradigm’ for small open economies characterized by three features: pricing in a dominant currency; pricing complementarities, and imported input use in production. Under this paradigm: (a) the terms-of-trade is stable; (b) dominant currency exchange rate pass-through into export and import prices is high regardless of destination or origin of goods; (c) exchange rate pass-through of non-dominant currencies is small; (d) expenditure switching occurs mostly via imports, driven by the dollar exchange rate while exports respond weakly, if at all; (e) strengthening of the dominant currency relative to non-dominant ones can negatively impact global trade; (f) optimal monetary policy targets deviations from the law of one price arising from dominant currency fluctuations, in addition to the inflation and output gap. Using data from Colombia we document strong support for the dominant currency paradigm.
