Private Currencies and the Great Depression
During the Great Depression, approximately 1,500 private local currencies emerged to facilitate trade when the national money supply failed. Rapoport cites "Ithaca Hours," founded by Paul Glover, as a modern example of a successful local currency that empowers community members and merchants. These systems are presented as a way to circumvent manufactured scarcity and allow individuals to pursue their true passions without the barrier of federal dollars.
