"Bills. Bread. Cash. Dinero. Dough. Loot. Moolah. Cha-Ching. Money.
As the song says, "A Mark, a Yen, a Buck, or a Pound is all that makes the world go around, that clinking Clanking sound, can make the world go around."
But, what IS money? - Where does it come from?
- How does it get its value?
- How does it reflect what the community values, conceptually and artistically?
- Does anyone or any group have enough of it?
Did you know that you can, legally, make your own money?
What kind of money would you make?"
Question: "Can you plan an alternative money system to help you to raise the money your community needs?"

"Probably you! That's who's going to foot the bill. At least you will in the future because the United States' national debt stands at over 5 trillion dollars (that's a five with, uh... 12 zeroes after it?). If we don't like the idea that the U.S. Government uses money it doesn't have, why don't we all pitch in right now to clear the debt once and for all? But wait! Some people say we don't need to worry about the debt. What we need is to keep growing the economy. After all, with the Internet and e-commerce, we live in a new era where it's important to boost the global economy. Then the debt will take care of itself.
Do you find all these huge numbers and disagreeing arguments confusing? Are you tempted to just ignore it? Have you got twenty grand in the bank? Thought so. Maybe we better look into this a little more deeply? Maybe even do something about it?"
