[wsfii-discuss] Worldchanging article on Complementary currencies

[Mamading Ceesay]

Hi,

One of my favourite blogs has a post on complementary currencies.  I
don't necessarily agree with everything that is said in it but it is a
good starting point for discussion and introducing people to the
ideas.

My favourite quote is "It allows you to take a systems-thinking
approach to social engineering, instead of a central-planning approach
(which historically requires significant overhead, fails to respond to
change rapidly, and has difficulty being comprehensive.)"

Systems thinking is exactly what makes me interested in CC as a way of
dealing with issues that the market has failed to handle.
