"If money is quickly funneled into large platforms or financial markets, the capacity to generate jobs and boost the local economy diminishes. ...If it remains in circulation within the community, it fosters the development of small businesses, strengthens financial autonomy, and multiplies economic opportunities."

The money hoarded by the oligarchy is dead money. Money sent off to big corporations never comes back.

Beyond Community Currencies: Strengthening Your Local Economy Alex Lopez, originally published by Post Growth Institute March 28, 2025 In recent years, there has been a growing interest in Renewable Energy Communities (REC), legal entities that collectively manage energy, promoting economic, social, and environmental benefits for their community. This model of citizen management over an essential resource has been widely accepted — so could a similar principle be applied to money? Image of a pastel toned illustration of an old-style downtown behind a street flooded by money created on Midjourney (CC-BY-4.0) "Money is an essential tool in today’s market economy, but its impact on local wealth depends on how it flows and where it is concentrated. Its use is so ingrained that we rarely stop to question it. However, money is nothing more than a social agreement, meaning we can optimize it to work more beneficially for the community... Circulation vs. accumulation: The true value of money The more money circulates within a community, the more wealth it generates and the more opportunities it creates for everyone. The challenge is to design mechanisms that ensure this money drives productive and sustainable economic relationships. This involves strengthening local commerce, local employment, and community initiatives rather than favoring the concentration of wealth in a few hands."

Neoliberal economic policies focus on short term gains, ignore long term responsibilities, and don't work at any level - city, state, or federal.

"The rarely-questioned hope is that the tax revenue from new growth will be enough to cover both the initial investment and future service and maintenance...but the cost of maintaining infrastructure doesn’t go away after construction—it only grows over time."

Houston, Texas Case Stuey The Growth Ponzi Scheme Revisited: Houston as a Case Study By Charles Marohn, MARCH 31, 2025 The Finance Decoder reveals the long-term trends hidden behind annual balanced budgets. For Houston, Texas, these trends are deeply problematic. In 2016, we updated the original Growth Ponzi Scheme article to explain how cities across North America were financially imploding—not because of a lack of growth, but because of growth itself. To experience growth, cities are encouraged to take on enormous long-term liabilities to fund short-term expansions. This fiscally unsustainable pattern eventually leads to insolvency. We are three generations into this economic experiment and, as the numbers show, the system is breaking. Few cities illustrate the consequences of this pattern as vividly as Houston, Texas. Houston has long been lauded as a pro-growth, free-market success story, a place where development happens fast, infrastructure keeps up with demand, and regulations don’t stand in the way of progress. But underneath that reputation lies an enormous fiscal hole. Last year, Houston Mayor John Whitmire declared that the city is “broke,” citing a $160 million deficit. That’s a big number, but it barely scratches the surface of Houston’s real financial predicament.

I think it's really important, always but especially now, to build small, local, resilient groups of people learning to trust each other and to be accountable to each other, and then connect with other small, independently resilient projects in other places, until a network comes to life that allows for differences amongst individual groups while combining forces for shared goals and visions.

"Three people are better than no people." - Fannie Lou Hamer

And three people are better than a hundred people who don't know or trust each other.

And three people united in values and vision are better than one leader holding a million people as passive audience.

"Decentralization is the biggest lesson of the Black civil rights movement in the U.S. - isolated, rock-star leaders are vulnerable. Movements that put all their eggs in one leader's basket are vulnerable movements. Decentralizing vision, strategy, and work creates resilient movements." - adrienne maree brown

"I would not be a Moses to lead you into the Promised Land, because if I could lead you into it, someone else could lead you out of it." - Eugene V. Debs

"Go to the people. Live with them. Learn from them. Love them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. But with the best leaders, when the work is done, the task accomplished, the people will say 'We have done this ourselves'." - Lao Tzu

Bericht – WUGCQ Glaspalast Sindelfingen 2025

Die Golffellas haben zum ersten WUGCQ 2025 eingeladen und drei Spieler des UHC sind der Einladung gefolgt und nach Sindelfingen zum ersten Qualiturnier für die neue Nationalmannschaft und somit quasi auch Deutschen Meisterschaft (1/3) aufgebrochen.

Mit knapp 600 km auch nicht die kürzeste Anreise, deswegen sind wir auch schon am Freitag angereist. Dafür sind wir dann am Turniertag auch ausgeruht, ob es geholfen hat, werdet ihr noch sehen.

Auf dem Parkplatz dann vorm Glaspalast noch einen Mitspieler getroffen, der allein durch sein Kennzeichen ein Statement setzt 😉

Den ganzen Bericht gibt es auf der Webseite von Hook & Slice und dazu ein paar Videos 😉

The Toy Library

Hello! Let's start with a quick #introduction.

The Toy Library is an Ireland-based social enterprise. We created a platform to freely recirculate toys in the community, organise beautiful educational workshops for kids, and hold swap and play events across the country.

Here we'd love to create a vibrant community of people–families, educators, local authorities, volounteers–sharing the same values.

Hope this is the right place to start.
