---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pat Conaty <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 8:04 PM Subject: Democratic Money and Capital for Commons Find at the link below a new report that Michel Bauwens and the Commons Strategies Group initiated as a two day intense discussion event in Berlin and held last September and with some folks you will recognise. http://www.bollier.org/blog/democratic-money-and-capital-commons David Bollier and I have edited in this report summaries of presentations and the outcome of the debate and discussion. What makes this report different is that we seek to join up the parts that diverse experts are working on. If any of you could promote this report via your networks Michel and I would be grateful. The plan being hatched is to set up a Home Site for the report and try to promote Socially Usefully Money Organisations (SUMO) keen to find ways of uniting the jig-saw puzzle parts into a cohesive whole that can be co-developed. Block chain technology is neutral and can be used abusively or democratically, socially and ecologically. There is also a key role for governments viz. democratic money systems. Michel and I look forward to getting your feedback.
