The first edition of my book, The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, was published by Chelsea Green Publishing in 2009. While it remains
as relevant today as it was when first published the printed book has been out of print for several years. But, having had the rights reverted to me by my publisher, I am making the entire book available for free in PDF format. You can read it or download it HERE. If you would like a hard copy of the first edition used copies can still be found on Amazon.com, Abe books, Thrift books and elsewhere.
Better still, you can avail yourself of the new revised and expanded 2024 edition which I have been working on for almost two years and is almost complete. Eighteen chapters have already been posted and can be freely read or download HERE.

Money: Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender (2001)
New Money For Healthy Communities (1994)

Tom,
Do you know about the Common Good Bank (http://commongoodbank.com/)? It would be great if you could make a blog entry about your evaluation of it.
Thanks,
Ted

Great job Tom and thanks to Todd Boyle for recording and posting it. This presentation gets to the key points and is a good overall intro to the subject.
Tom’s 5 stages/steps succinctly identifies the objectives that need to be realized in a progressive “sustainable” community. Generating grassroots creation and control over your own individual and your communities exchange processes is indeed the proper direction and approach to take. Achieving local control over local purchasing power is indeed the first step and the best way to achieve “economic freedom”. Read Tom’s books and the writings of E.C. Riegel if you want to be part of the solution. People need to create thier own “economic homeland security”.
