Thomas H. Greco Jr., author of The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, and Money: Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender discusses money, exchange, what needs to happen in the future, and how to democratize the money, credit, and the exchange of value.
What is money? Where does it come from? Is gold money? What is the essence of money? What are the alternatives to it?
Midway through, Aaron poses a question on a possible way to exchange goods in a peer-to-peer manner, which leads to a deeper level of understanding regarding the essence of money.
"What's important is that we find ways to reduce our dependence on mega-structures; to find ways to relocalize our economies, to decentralize power; to work together in cooperation to make our communities more resilient, more self reliant, and more able to withstand the predations of large government, large corporations, and large organizations."
