The primary connection is that both systems value the production of nature. The expansion of a LETS to a GETS requires only the inclusion of the global community, common natural resources, and the universal, life-sustaining value of ecosystems. The GRB integrates all three.
Money is one of humanities most significant inventions.
It s a medium of exchange, a standard of value and a store of wealth. Money makes possible an economy based on the division of labor and the exchange of goods and services. In contrast to these qualities is the fact that money currently values production related to the destruction of nature. The solution to this dilemma is to create money that values the production of nature. At the GRB this money takes the form of electronic Global dollars.
