Until recently, the growth of alternative cash had been the province of big business: phone cards, stamps, air miles and Tesco's clubcard points all have purchasing power, yet are not cash as we know it. Now, locally created money systems like "time dollars", "Womanshare" and "Ithaca hours" are being invented by communities for communities. The author tells the story of this revolution. He travels to the USA to visit the people behind local money systems, relates their vision of the future and describes how to set up your own currency.
