CDM - Thank you for your references. I had hoped other scholars would join you in the currency discussion.
I read the Bernard Lietaer interview on the Web site your recommended. Excellent. Would you recommend a book?

Lietaer seems to be advocating local currencies which would be used along with a national currency. However, he didn't identify the type of national currency. I believe Pound was advocating a national solution; stamped script not being practical, he sought a non-usurious alternative. Today, a negative-interest currency could easily be incorporated in the banking software.

Can you comment on a book written by David Korten, titled "The Post-Corporate World, Life After Capitalism". I was told Korten developed his writings using ideals from C. H. Douglas' Social Credit.
