Sustainable solutions
There are many worthy solutions to our economic plight that could be mentioned like a circular economy where sharing is the focus and not owning. Also positive money which calls on banks for a greater transparence as to who they lend money to. These are all good initiatives but do not change the basic foundation of the money we use to conduct business on the street level.
They also rely heavily on a top down decision to force change in banking practices which in my opinion will not come about due to the dependence of politicians on the current structure.
Cryptocurrencies are a peoples revolution that is putting pressure on banks to operate differently. Interesting to note is during the Great Depression there were hundreds of currencies in use all across the USA. It worked to sustain factories and jobs. There are now over 1600 cryptocurrencies in the world many functioning as a usable currency in their niche markets.
