Interesting about this WIR bank. I ‘ve read many stuff about money and changes and found that link http://relativemoney.wordpress.com/

What I’m getting out of Susan’s presentation is that there is space in the community currency and commercial exchange world for a regional exchange reserve concept, something I’ve been obsessing about for a number of years, and especially lately.

If anyone else out there is considering a similar approach I would love to hear from you and perhaps strike up a correspondence. You can reach me at cooperativecommonwealth@gmail.com.

Thank you for your interesting piece on WIR (which is the German for “us”). I heard about the system 20+ years ago whenat a meeting in WIPO, but did not follow it up. In the village where I live, in the pre-Alpes in the Drôme, there still exists a simpler, informal system whereby people exhange periods of work, for example in the grape-picking season. I live at 640 meters and when, abot 15 years ago I decided to lay two concrete strips to facilitate vehicle access in Winter anout 10 people came to help and in return had a’ free’ lunch and aperitives but it was accepted that I “owed” all the participants a days work……….. some of which I still owe! Before I left England in 1957 I used to belong to the Schumacher Society but with only occasional visits to London it seemed pointless to continue. I still get occasional requests for help! As to black markets can one get in the red?

Best wishes
Mike
