Resources More Economic Theory on the Net Review This Site!



Markets are sticky. They are inefficient and prices are slow to adjust. More
trade would happen if markets were more efficient. What would cause the markets
to be more efficient? Better information. What's the web good for? Access to
better information. Better access to information provided by the web will cause
markets to become more efficient, and more (and better) transactions will take
place. We offer this site as a forum where we can all explore these coming
changes. Please let us know what we could do to better express these points.





New!



Bernard Lietaer's new book on the future of money is now available online. (A
German version may be found at http://www.futuremoney.de). Browse through
Bernard's articles on community, "green", and Internet currencies; Howard
Rheingold's "The Internet and the Future of Money"; as well as links to other
economic theory on the Net.

New models of doing business online continue to develop, with the open source
model sparking innovation in software, music, and other industries. Take a look
at our directory of online business models and our table comparing the pros and
cons of the major e-commerce models.

Please browse through our survey of How Money Systems Work which presents the
advantages and disadvantages of the different currency systems currently
available, and our award-winning Payment Systems directory, which reviews the
different ways to transfer value on the Net using these currencies.

You're also welcome to join our open conversation in The Money Conference--we
look forward to meeting you there!

BUILDING COMMUNITY CAPITAL

Why are we publishing free of charge? Actually, it's not because we lack
hobbies. We put information out for free, for example, our San FranZiskGo!
weekly listing of promising events in the Bay Area and our Web Design 101
tutorial, as part of a larger effort to help create community capital--lasting
resources for everyone to appreciate.

Many communities are suffering from unemployment, social isolation, and the
degradation of living creatures and their natural habitat. These communities
have plenty of human resources--talented people with the energy to make a
difference--but because they have to rely on loan-based currency from the
federal government when they use those resources, each exchange spirals them
further into debt.

Just imagine if each transaction in these struggling communities conserved local
resources instead of leaking interest--people in a community would be encouraged
not to hoard currency (hoarding chills employment and corrodes the social bonds
that develop in gift- or wealth-based economies) for the sake of the interest,
but instead to trade their time, expertise, and extra property freely with other
people.

Yes, it's perfectly legal, and has proven effective too: Citizens in several
communities--for example, Minneapolis, MN; Lyon, France; Ithaca, NY; Vancouver
Island, BC; Fremantle, WA (Australia); Austin TX; Zurich, Switzerland, and
others--have built on this idea, and (sometimes with the help of new online
payment systems) have supplemented national currency with their own
interest-free non-inflationary currencies. They've succeeded to a great extent
in replacing unemployment with "remunerated leisure" and in building social ties
among community members.

We're inspired by their successes, and offer our space as another
community-building "medium of exchange". We hope it generates some ripples of
value throughout the entire community. What else would you like to know about
us? What do you think about us?
