Importantly, this works by politicizing which credits are receivable for what, from the position of ordinary price-setters.
That’s how monetary populism (complementary currencies, etc) is scalable.

This is dope. In the spirit of the BPP free breakfast program, but fancy.
French bakery in Bed-Stuy offers free breakfast to SNAP card holders
Beginning Nov. 1, when SNAP benefits are expected to be suspended, Je T’aime Patisserie will offer free breakfast to anyone who presents their EBT card from 7:30-10 a.m.

From monetary silencing to the politics of receivability, new stories of abundance & bonds becoming cash.
These are practical questions, not obscure theories: Who gets to create money? Which institutions accept which forms of credit? How do we expand democratic participation in monetary design?
These are practical questions, not obscure theories: Who gets to create money? Which institutions accept which forms of credit? How do we expand democratic participation in monetary design?
![“I call the processes that reduce money users to individuals who have no role in shaping money creation 'monetary silencing.' [...] Silencing processes discourage questions like 'Who ought to make currency, and according to what rules?' When silencing is successful, monetary design and its stakes disappear from view.”
Jakob Feinig, Moral Economies of Money (2022)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nbbgwde6myrunjgqjxm22lbt/bafkreidmwkcr352yqrsydk24q6mxqym4g5zu2bzhqdshc3wt7qjqcg7zwm@jpeg)
![“When we ask what we can promise to deliver for one another, rather than what we owe, very different stories about our future become possible [...], stories where
'credit as plot' drives themes of abundance or forgiveness, rather than finite redistribution and extraction.”
Benjamin Wilson, Care, Climate, and Debt (2022)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nbbgwde6myrunjgqjxm22lbt/bafkreiar7sx3e6kebl4445dyexnl6uaovtmsy3dfypoqti2cumrbhjc35q@jpeg)

These aren’t utopian fantasies—they’re real tools for expanding democratic control over credit and bypassing manufactured scarcity. Much of our recent work has been about how complementary currencies help us see money itself as an open, contested choreography we can reshape together.

I enjoyed this too! Thx to @chrisb2024.bsky.social for inviting us and hosting. We talked about how “Unis” help students understand money as social technology; how campaign credits (see the Zetro card) can mobilise volunteer labour; and municipal bonds can become “cash” when politics makes it so.
Had a great time speaking with

3/ Democratic Public Finance reframes money as credit—a public institution we design. Money is the process of recognising the contributions that matter to the community. Together, we can reorganise our monetary systems to serve people and planet, not financial markets and tech billionaires.

2/ The dominant political worldview today treats money as scarce and private. This makes politics a zero-sum game and gives bondholders veto power over democracy. It blocks us from organising our resources and people to meet community needs.

Money isn’t scarce—it’s a public tool we create to mobilise our collective capacities. The real question isn’t “where will we find the money?” but “what do we want to accomplish together?”
