Rethinking Money: How New Currencies Turn Scarcity Into Prosperity

Bernard Lietaer, Jacqui Dunne, John Perkins (Get this book)
Among the many misconceptions people have about money is that a finite amount is circulating in economies, loan creation is always associated with debt creation, bank profit is dependent on interest payments, and saving money and accumulating wealth are beneficial goals. Here Dunne and Lietaer turn these assumptions upside down by presenting current and historic evidence of alternative monetary systems successfully implemented worldwide. A must-read for community leaders, planners, policymakers, human resource, and other business professionals who are interested in learning about the creation and sustainability of innovative monetary systems.--Library Journal
