Take back the money power

This article appeared in Alternet in July 2009. It describes why the “greenback solution” is far from adequate in solving the money problem and argues that community control of credit is the necessary prerequisite for liberation and empowerment.

Beyond Money
- Another (more honest) take on the economy February 5, 2012
  In his recent article that appeared in Counterpunch, Paul Craig Roberts, tells the story of the American economy as it really is.–t.h.g. February 01, 2012 The Emperor Has No Clothes. Economics 101 by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS Last Friday (January 27) the US Bureau of Economic Analysis announced its advance estimate that in the last quarter [...]
- CNN reports on Philadelphia’s local currency January 30, 2012
  I helped RHD set up their Equal Dollars currency back in the late 90′s. Here is a recent report about it from CNN. Sorry about the annoying commercial at the beginning.–t.h.g. How I buy groceries without cash – Video – Personal Finance.
- The 100% solution: non-violent organizing for the common good January 28, 2012
  What is it that enables less than 1 percent of the population to control, dominate, and exploit the rest of us? Some will say it’s ignorance and fear, other will say it’s laziness and irresponsibility. There is probably just enough truth in all of that to enable the 1 percent to justify their actions. [...]
- Obama Flushes American Dream in SoU Speech January 27, 2012
  I don’t take seriously the words of politicians, nor do I pay much attention to the quadrennial presidential election charade. The outcome is decided well in advance of the presidential primaries by the power that be. The mainstream media coverage becomes almost laughable when you notice how the networks contort themselves to make an establishment [... […]
- Banks too big to fail; bankers too powerful to jail. January 25, 2012
  According to the Associated Press, federal negotiators are close to concluding a deal with major banks that would essentially forgive them of crimes committed in connection with the mortgage crisis. You can read the story here, and a critique of the proposed settlement here: Obama Is on the Brink of a Settlement With the Big [...]
- All together now…. January 20, 2012
  In the midst of an economic downturn sharing and cooperation become even more important than usual. If I’m right, our present situation is more than a cyclical downturn, it is the beginning of a fundamental economic readjustment triggered by peak debt, peak oil, peak pollution, etc… The limits to growth have been reached and we [...]
- What if ? Judge Napolitano asks some penetrating questions January 16, 2012
  Judge Napolitano’s video clip is not about Ron Paul, it’s about America’s entire political predicament. The important thing to remember is that there is no leader who can remedy the situation for us. It’s up to you and me. Find your own way to help make this a happier, more peaceful world.–t.h.g.
- Coming soon: a world without money and banks. January 13, 2012
  Who in their right mind would be so bold as to predict the end of money and banking as we’ve known it (besides yours truly, that is)? Well, how about the Governor of the Bank of England? “There is no reason products and services could not be swapped directly by consumers and producers through a [...]
- Taking Cashless Trade to a Higher Level January 5, 2012
  When I spoke at the IRTA convention in 2007, I pointed out that many people associated with the business of commercial “barter” had told me that the industry was at what might be called a “plateau of complacency.” That seems to remain the case today with trade exchange operators content to operate profitably on a [...]
- Organizing for local self-reliance and sustainability December 27, 2011
  This upcoming webinar promises to describe what may be a good model for organizing and funding local enterprises that contribute to local self-reliance and sustainability, plus providing ways to secure your savings in investments that will have lasting real value–t.h.g..
