Title: The future of money
Description: Lietaer begins with a review of money in its current form: scarce, inflationary fiat currencies traded rapidly and in extraordinary volumes. He continues into a review of a variety of alternative and complementary currencies, ranging from the bus tokens in Curitiba, Brazil, to Ithaca Hours, to various Depression scrips, to airline miles and credit card points. He concludes with a vision of what he terms Sustainable Abundance.
