Chapter contribution on ancient Balinese decentralized monetary system
Publication Date: 2013 Publisher: Berrett-KoehlerPublication Description:
In this visionary book, Bernard Lietaer and Jacqui Dunne
explore the origins of our current monetary system—built on bank
debt and scarcity—revealing the surprising and sometimes shocking
ways its unconscious limitations give rise to so many serious
problems. But there is hope. The authors present stories of ordinary
people and their communities using new money, working in cooperation
with national currencies, to strengthen local economies, create work,
beautify cities, and provide education—and so much more is
possible. These real-world examples are just the tip of the
iceberg—over 4,000 cooperative currencies are already in existence.

New
Money for a New World examines a previously unexamined culprit for
the many issues we face today — the monopoly of our centuries-old
monetary system. This book provides many ways and means that are
readily available to stop the current juggernaut towards global
self-destruction. Many of the solutions offered within this book are
more than theory. Communities from around the world have successfully
addressed a myriad of issues without the need to raise taxes,
redistribute wealth, or depend upon enlightened self-interest from
corporate entities. Rather, the improvements were realized simply and
effectively by rethinking money.
