Joining the Journey:
how to use the website
We have been starting to collect the best that is thought and said about democratic money, to share with anyone who might be inspired to understand it, support it, or try it.
If you are curious about other ideas and approaches, you have come to the right place!
Feel free to roam.
We have organised things like this:
Ideas and Ingredients
This is where to go if you’d like to think deeper about the ideas, models and values that underpin democratic money. There are some frameworks of what good participation looks like, some essential principles that pop up everywhere, and a curious idea that disengagement is rational.
Examples
Perhaps the part of the site that needs the least introduction, this is where to look if you want to see democratic money in action. There are examples from different parts of the world, and from investment, grant-making, and public spending; all of them with a dose of imagination and, for us, inspiration.
Toolbox
If you’re keen to roll up your sleeves and start building democratic money, then the hints and hacks in this section might be a good place to look. Why tools? Because democratic money isn’t one-size-fits-all; every community should make it their own.
