How money has shaped our world?
Welcome to the third Community Exchange Alliance Presents Taking Back Our Economy podcast series hosted by Tim Jenkin. Today, our fellow founders of the Community Exchange Alliance: Anitha Beberg, Edgar Cahn, Christine Gray and Martin Simon are joined by a special guest, Will Ruddick, who has been promoting community currencies for many years in Kenya.
In this episode, the topic of discussion will be, “How money has shaped our world, and what our world would be like if non-monetary means of exchange are to become predominant.”
The focus will mainly be on the second part of the topic, namely, what would the world look like if non-monetary exchange became predominant, but in order to do that we need to understand how money has shaped our present world. And even before we do that, we need to define what we mean by ‘money’!
The aim of the Alliance is to form a learning community where people come to share their experience, information, and how-to advice about exchange systems such as sharing, swapping, gifting, bartering and local community currencies and also about networks of exchange systems.
The Alliance was formed by Anitha Beberg, Edgar Cahn, Christine Gray, Tim Jenkin and Martin Simon, a group of individuals who have dedicated, between them, over one hundred person-years to helping grow different types of local means of exchange that can help to build strong, resilient communities where people feel valued for their contributions and are supported in their needs.
We believe that bringing leaders and members of exchange systems together to share what they have done, what they have learned, the tools that they have developed and how it has changed their community, will bring insights to those with long experience in exchange systems as well as helpful information for newcomers to this growing movement.
