This is Part 1 of an interview with Tom Woodroof of Mutual Credit Services, who made the shift from the world of nuclear physics to the world of mutual credit.
If mutual credit is a form of money, it’s not the kind you can put in a bag with ‘swag’ written on it. It’s more of an accounting system. We think it’s central to building the new economy.
Transcript of interview, with links to organisations and information mentioned in the video: lowimpact.org/posts/my-journey-from-nuclear-physics-to-mutual-credit-tom-woodroof-of-mutual-credit-services.
We’re interviewing key players in the new economy, to:
a) bring their work to a wider audience
b) try to find ways to co-ordinate their efforts
c) stimulate debate
d) help to build the new economy.

Introduction to mutual credit: lowimpact.org/categories/mutual-credit
Highlights:
1. I found that mutual credit made the connections I’d been looking for, between money, economy, society and environment, in ways that no-one else was talking about.
2. We’re adapting tools developed by the banks and the finance sector for moneyless exchange, and making them available in the real economy – business networks and communities.
3. We need to show people how these tools will benefit them, but not be afraid of saying that communities will benefit too. The emphasis depends on who we’re talking to.
