A Land Backed Currency Issued By A Local Authority

[Darren]

/Ethical Markets Review is delighted to publish this brilliant original 
paper by Deirdre Kent, author of Healthy Money, Healthy Planet (2005). 
Deirdre has been an activist for a better common future and in New 
Zealand politics since the Values Party was founded in 1975. Many 
members of this early futurist party visited our editor, Hazel 
Henderson, in the late 1970s and gave her the rights to their visionary 
manifesto, Beyond Tomorrow. Deirdre continued her activism in her local 
community, Otaki, and co-founded the Otaki Transition Town and the Otaki 
Timebank, the brainchild of Edgar Cahn, a member of Ethical Markets 
Advisory Board. In 2011, Deirdre Kent founded New Zealand's New 
Economics Party and wrote this immensely practical and viable proposal 
for a scaled-up, robust local currency which can be issued in many 
countries by local authorities and ratified by central banks and 
authorities as is now happening in Brazil, see articles by Ladislau 
Dowbor and Rose Marie Muraro in Ethical Markets Review. We welcome these 
innovative thinkers and activists. -- Hazel Henderson, Editor.
