A highly informative article on various strategies for developing and organizing community infrastructure without utilizing the extractive traditional banking system.
I personally find horizontally focused economic dialogue rare, so it's refreshing to see financial knowledge leveraged to pave the way *out of* our current system, rather than funneling resources back *into* it.
Along with all the tools spoken of in the article, there's also mention of Viable Systems, the framework behind Chile's Cybersyn and also revived in @Anark's A Modern Anarchism.
If you have a sufficient coalition around some community need and are unsure of how to organizationally or financially proceed, I believe this article is for you.
I also just recommend Resilience in general.
