Alternative Currency Resources

After reading M. King Hubbert's thoughts on the need for a new type of currency system post Peak Oil, I have begun collecting books and online resources on the subject.  I first took an interest in this back around 1990 after returning to university to take a few courses in CED (Community Economic Development). I just came across this list:

What's Money got to do with it? was a chapter in Sustainable Planet edited by Betsy Taylor and Juliet Schor. http://www.newroadmap.org/vrimagine.asp is a short future fiction story published in Imagine edited by Marianne Williamson.

Also, Your Money or Your Life, teaches people to balance their dependancy on the national currency and complementary currency - and use 'money' only for what money can actually buy.  You can find out more at www.yourmoneyoryourlife.org .

Tom Greco's, Money; Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender. That one you'd have to buy. Intro by Vicki Robin.

The Simplicity Forum www.simplicityforum.org with a focus on the authors, activists, artists, educators leading the simplicity/frugality/sustainable consumption movement.

Community Currency

One of my areas of interest is community currency or alternative currency, whichever you prefer. I see this as an important tool communities can use to mitigate the consequences of a Peak Oil induced recession. (Don't get me started on the Federal Reserve and its monopoly in money creation!)

So I am throwing this post up today to get the word out in the search engines over the next few days.  Come and join me if you have an interest in this topic.
