I really like your message and i’m planning to buy your book. I’v been playing around with the idea of creating your own money for a while already and once i run into a project called Ripple it finally dawned on me – how money should work and how it always should have been: as a debt from friend to friend. Allowing everyone to create their own money, that they can use to buy stuff as long as their friends trust them to pay it back at some point.

Naturally, there are loads of problems with system like this (counterfeiting, etc.), but these can be overcome by making it digitized and work through a web service. And once your friend network grows your local currency becomes global currency allowing you to trade with anyone in the world through a chain of trusted friends. Here’s some more info about the system, hope you like it. http://blogit.helsinki.fi/aivomassaa/social_money2.htm

That’s called a “mutual credit currency” I believe…
