Positive Money is a noble organisation, may be too little too late, either way Money is in a big mess and at the natural end of it's lifecycle. ...what next ?
The history is important to learn from:
Should we go back to the gold standard? NO. Should we have one global currency ? NO.
So what next ...lots of local currencies may be....?
Either way - get prepared, because this problem is not going away, it's like a big teetering tree that is axed through and wondering which way to fall. Make sure you are not under the big tree, people...
Which reminds me of a poster I saw a protester holding which said:
"Money doesn't grow on trees...it's made out of thin air by bankers"
It is worth remembering that speculation is one of the biggest industries in the world (making money from money - or gambling) and that the speculators themselves are currently betting on Europe failing.

And I think Jesus would like his say ...oh - he already did - 2000 years ago - d'oh !
(or at least the people writing then did)
[Matthew 21:12]
"Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and
selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the
benches of those selling doves."
[Ex. 22:25 ]
"If you lend money to my people, to the poor among you, you
shall not deal with them as a creditor; you shall not exact interest
from them.”
In for a penny, in for a pound (even a fake one) we have Shakespeare:
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
