community currencies do encourage production and consumption, which is good in poor societies. but in our affluent societies we need to reduce production and consumption for ecological reasons and reasons of global justice. we do not produce too few goods, but a lot too many, but we do distribute them unadaquately. community currencies aren’t a solution for these distribution problems nor for the global climate and environmental problems.
