Great Revolutions are those that increase our ability to communicate and cooperate. They include the invention of writing, the printing press, the metric system, the telephone, television, and the Internet.
The next Great Revolution will be the adoption of an Hour of Work as the money unit. Already it is spreading among local currencies, for example, Ithaca Hours, the Portland, Maine Hour Exchange and similar Time exchanges.
I met a young woman last night in St. Louis who told me she had worked successfully in getting such an exchange in Madison, Wisconsin.
It is spreading and with your help it will spread more.
Wedding Time and Money is a natural next step in the evolution of democracy. What we have now is political democracy, which we know is cumbersome and frustrating. Rules passed by a majority are not necessarily good rules.
Hour Money will decentralize decisions by empowering each of us to make wise economic decisions on our own just like the metric system does with all other measurements.
I would love to send you Hour Money examples to pass out where you are. It’s planting seeds – you never know where they will take root and blossom – we know they will never blossom if they are never planted. All I need is your mailing address. I usually send out packets of 60. They are a little smaller than a dollar bill.
