]]> Comment on Funding public art with community currency? by Roger Appleton http://lebleu.org/blog/2009/08/15/funding-public-art-with-community-currency/comment-page-1/#comment-1223 Mon, 21 May 2012 14:28:54 +0000 http://lebleu.org/blog/?p=242#comment-1223 Just come across your comments on the Singing Ringing Tree. The whole Panopicons project (there were 3 other pieces of major public art) had regeneration at its heart. There are three other films about Halo, Colourfields and Atom – the other Panopticons – all in North East Lancashire, England.

Increasing these days go up and down rather regularly based in the marketplace place and also rules set up by the govt and financial institutions. It is important to have a beat in the marketplace and the different goings on to know how home loan prices will move.

]]> Comment on What drives demand for money? by Eric Harris-Braun http://lebleu.org/blog/2012/02/08/what-drives-demand-for-money/comment-page-1/#comment-1219 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:32:19 +0000 http://lebleu.org/blog/?p=617#comment-1219 I suspect (though can't prove) that the answer to your final question is yes, but I think it will shrink even further, i.e. to a backup procedure for when things go wrong.  Family and tribal “economies” very rarely rely on exchange currencies, because they are focused on building the wider levels of wealth (relational wealth) which bring with them automatically the level of wealth addressed by money (tradable wealth).  Only when things are going really wrong relationally in a family or a tribe do you need to resort to accounting exchange balances.  The potential implicit in your examples is the realization that non-coercive relational economies are the most efficient.  Families and tribes (gift economies) are more efficient than market economies.  We just haven't yet learned to scale the relational wealth that are possible at those levels.

My point here is exactly yours I think: best is not to focus on currencies that build on obligation or expectation of reciprocity, but simply on currencies that offer the possibility of reciprocity, simply by recording more formally what is going on.
