Break the banking system: bottom-up monetary reform & local currency
- By : JanssenReportHost

Today on The Janssen Report: reporting from a venue near Amsterdam where we discuss in a group of 50 people not just what’s wrong with the monetary system, but also what we can do to change it. Attendees were members of alternative media, monetary reformists, economists and people who just wanted to learn.
Watch this brief Report below:
This is happening all over the world. There are plenty of relatively successful local currencies outside of the banking system (and I’m not referring to Bitcoin in this case).
Just a few examples of local currencies:
- WIR: www.wir.ch, Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIR_Bank
- Berkshares: www.berkshares.org
- Talent: realcurrencies.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/mutual-credit-for-the-21st-century-convertibility/
Plenty going on folks. You can be part of the change too. More on this topic to follow, so stay tuned!
Cheers,
Marco Janssen
