A sustainable economy for a sustainable world!

actually he's Chinese and doesn't speak English but Chinese and Japanese, but anyway let's see...

Bénigne, I remembered a businessman in Kobe, Japan who has recently lamented the lack of running capital among small businesses there. I've send Bernard Lietaer's proposal on B2B currencies and maybe he shows some interest in implementing such a system here in Japan too. Then you can come back here to start your business here...

Well, of course these days I can't go to Europe (not only because of volcano ash) but am planning to go to Spain in July as a speaker for a summer course. Don't forget to read my blog http://mig76en.wordpress.com/ where I've just uploaded my reports on recent conferences, including one by Bernard Lietaer in Shiga just this month...

Voici le blog finance dont je te parlais! à bientôt :)

Bégnine, I have been travelling from Mexico to France and not online much this days. Finally I sent you an invitation to the community currencies twine. Check your mailbox. Let me know what you think and feel free to add your precious findings. Its a collaborative research tool.

Hi Bénigne, thanks for your reply. Let me update you on what TheTransitioner (TT) is doing in regards to free currencies. First important thing to know is that openmoney is a key vessel for the development of a multiple currency system and there are others. In TT we are formerly supporting the project called metacurrency.org where we decided to place our energies since the team we are part of are in resonance with our vision. We are currently building what we call the geekspace which is the field of play for the programmers that wish to participate in creating the system. We are working on the documents, the spaces, the socialmedia campaign, interviews and a manifesto. You will hear about it when its ready since we are going to broadcast news to the community.

You can also check what is going on by going into our wiki and read the flowplace section.

The place where must of us are currently writting about currencies is at:

All people who write there are part of the metacurrency project. We also have a collaborative research repository in a system called twine. You got to register to it to see it. If you are interested I can send you an invitation if you want. We will be adding pieces of our advance as we move through.
