Author: Ester Barinaga Martín
Professor Barinaga Martín’s new book, ‘Remaking Money for a Sustainable Future: Money Commons,’ is now available in a digital, open access edition! The book explores three complementary currencies (municipal currencies, citizen currencies, and cryptocurrencies), uncovering the different organizational logics underlying their design, and discussing their potential to address pressing socio-economic and socio-political challenges.
From the publisher:
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.
