a) it decides whether the tools for the project are created and by whom they are used. b) they decide the price of those tools( through lending).
After this analysis, we see that a bank does decide what the economy produces. In general, the owner of money controls the economy because of those 2 reasons.
Any ruleset thus has to find a way to remove those abilities from money.
if you attach a contract that promises the universalization of access you are giving more responsability and less rights to ownership (what money could buy), you won't be able to ask for money for the produced thing, and should let others use it, etc, so investing in my property is increasing my responsability, so i'd like to share that charge (peer property) and i'd like not being owner of too many things (i prefer to be plain user). the "a)" reason you mention is mentioned to be universal use by default.
Yes, this solves a). it is one way to do it.
i believe a job agency of workers investing their sales/budgets for the commons can be bought by a rich in $ (and it's an internal matter of us whether we know how to spend well the $ and if we still need to 'accept' them), and this not being a power over from the rich in $ towards us. It is rather a way we should experiment more, we shouldn't have much competition in the actual 'market' if we corporate so.
There could be accumulation even inside our own currency. Also, it shouldnt be the choice of an individual, or a specific group, it should be a property of the monetary system itself. This is known as the prisoners dilemma<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner's_dilemma#Strategy_for_the_classic_prisoners.27_dilemma> .
also the clausing of community currencies with the shareful producing condition, whether they choose the shareful project to be just accesible for their associates or for the whole world, should help defining their values and even justify the giving of 'basic incomes' for shareful producers works in this way (who could buy preferent use/access for those produced shareful things) (who could require to retain the ownership of the shareful production or give it to the corp)
