FREE MONEY SYSTEM

The Free Money System is based on the book "Free Money!: Get Your Free Money Here" written by Paul Londoner.

The book describes how to start up an alternative currency where interest, employers, bankers, and landlords are all banned. The goal is to implement the ideas of Participatory Economics (Parecon), building on the author's own experience of Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS). This book references the book "Life After Capitalism" by Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel, as well as the series of videos "Money As Debt", but also the TV documentary series "The Ascent of Money" presented by Professor Niall Ferguson, which the author claims has given the game away about the flaws of Capitalism, although the series was intended to support Thatcherite/neoliberal economics.
