for collecting pages describing debates here on this list. I added a
first page about the discussions of the GesellianModels at:
http://en.wiki.oekonux.org/Oekonux/Debates/GesellianModels
Stefan, better you change the page title ;)
I was not sure on the page title, indeed. May be something like
`AlternativeMoney' would catch what I meant. Right?
alternative is misleading - one thinks of AN alternative which conjures up
competition and singularity (diversity is all) - complementary or community
currencies would be more accurate - complementary in that they operate
alongside other money systems and in some ways augment them - ie they are
synergistic.
community currencies because any community (geographic, interest, association,
network) can have its own money system but not as an alternative to existing
and new moneys but as a complement.
OpenMoney is a LETS-like decentralized model and instead "Gesellian"
demurrage based model is (actually) a centralized model. They're NOT
similar.
So please feel free to improve on my understanding and explain the
differences. That's what a Wiki is for :-) .
your understanding would be much improved by reading the wealth of material
(20 years worth) already written in places like these...
....money and community
http://www.openmoney.org/play/m&c-notes.html
....the money problem
http://www.gmlets.u-net.com/explore/problems.html
...current system design
