Remaking Money for a Sustainable Future Summary

Remaking Money for a Sustainable Future: Money Commons by Ester Barinaga Martin (Lund University)

EPDF and EPUB available open access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Money is central to capitalism and to our many sustainability crises. Could we remake money so as to advance sustainable economies and fair societies? A growing number of scholars, politicians and activists think we can, and they are doing it from the bottom up.

This book examines how grassroots groups, municipalities and radical crypto-entrepreneurs are remaking money by designing and organising complementary currencies. It argues that in their novel ideas and governance practices lie the key for building green and inclusive economies.

Engaging imaginatively with the future of money, this accessible book will appeal to anyone interested in constructing a more sustainable and just world.

Remaking Money for a Sustainable Future Reviews

How is money made to work, and how can we make it work differently? At once erudite and practical, this is a sophisticated inquiry into the origins and diversity of money and markets, from ancient coins to complementary currencies and algorithms, and a blueprint for their remaking in the interests of planetary survival. Bill Maurer, University of California, Irvine
Presents a comprehensive view of a different understanding of money at the service of people and the planet, which contributes to a new form of society. Paola Raffaelli, Ramon Llull University
