Stephanie Potter interviews community economist Thomas H. Greco, Jr. about his most recent book The End of Money and the Future of Civilization. Greco will also speak in Portland, Monday, Nov 2 at 7 pm at the First Unitarian Church, 1011 SW 12th. (Co-Sponsored by the Community Exchange Network of Portland and Bright Neighbor.) Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy: “Maybe you've noticed a slight bit of turmoil in our national and global financial system? This book cuts to the very core of the trouble--and points toward several pathways toward that might allow us to slowly climb out of the pit into which we've stumbled.” An authority on the subject of monetary systems, Greco is one of the world’s leading experts in describing alternative or complementary currencies, self-regulating systems that facilitate “reciprocal exchange” without the use of government legal tender.
