AZ, your Local Currency link made me wonder why so many local credit unions were so anxious to achieve federal banking status some yrs ago. seems to me they had a good idea (lending local money to local people, investing local people's money in local businesses), that somehow got perverted during the S&L debacle.
I don't like "company scrip", at least as it has been usually practiced to price gouge captive consumers. Remember that song "I owe my soul to the company store"?
However, I very much liked: "opponents argue that local currency...can serve...as a means of tax evasion." OK! Now we're talking.
I also liked the way you thought it through, trying to find some way to take away their power. Good critical thinking! D.K.
They've tried this in my neck of the woods in Northern California. It looks to be pretty small scale, but it's ongoing and working!
