Is conventional money simply a discourse? Is it merely a socially constructed unit of exchange? If money is not an actual thing, are people then free to make collective agreements to use other forms of currency that might work more effectively for them? Proponents of #better money# argue that they have created currencies that value people more than profitability, ensuring that human needs are met with reasonable costs and decent wages#and supporting local economies that emphasize local sustainability. How did proponents develop these new economies? Are their claims valid?
