New Political Divide Of The Future

The US dollar will get popped because the USA has such a huge debt. And other countries will switch to the EURO to buy and sell world goods. And since we don`t have a 'free market' or real competition due to oligopolistic corporations and wealth hoarding by a small percentage of the world`s population, this will only increase the power of wealth hoarding. For instance, doing 'chores' to payoff one`s health care bill, well, the value of the 'chore' will obviously be different from one despot to another. My community currency is the Canadian dollar, and to supplement the fiat currency, the government MUST return to creating the money so that we all get universal, public health care. I use health care as an example here because the article did so. I`m not against new technologies helping in transactions, but actual paper money money must remain.

On the same topic as Rushkoff's article, but more in-depth, is Bernard Lietaer's book: <a href="http://www.transaction.net/money/book/">"The Future of Money"</a>.<br> <br> It's all about potential benefits of complementary currencies, with several examples of already-functioning systems.
