GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT
Get What You Need Without Euros Or Dollars Or Pounds
When stock markets and governments fail to distribute enough money to feed, fuel, house and heal us, we make our own money. Step A is barter: connecting directly. Step B is issuing tokens or electrons to count trades. Step C is becoming the bank: making interest-free loans. This workshop prepares you to start an independent credit system that meets your community's needs.
