DESCRIPTION:For our October meeting we will be reading all of Decolonizing Money: The 
 Promise of Abolishing the US Dollar, by Julio Linares (Pluto Press, 
 Amazon)\n\n\nTo change the world, we need a money revolution. Yet the 
 debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market 
 capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want the state 
 to harness money’s power. Decolonizing Money presents an anarchist theory 
 of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state 
 and capital.\n\nDrawing on anarchist, abolitionist and anti-colonial 
 feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a 
 grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a 
 necessary step towards the cancellation of debt and establishing a 
 worldwide basic income. Linares shows that money, beyond a store of value 
 and a medium of exchange, is a series of promises a society makes to itself 
 – and he challenges us to make them otherwise.\n\nThis innovative book 
 takes up lessons from global history and social movements in order to 
 unleash the political imagination. It shows us how the creation, use and 
 most importantly the destruction of money are forms of power that need to 
 be reclaimed through direct action, as part of a radical democratic project 
 for autonomy and self-determination.\n \nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this 
 non-technical book group discussion monthly on new and radical economic 
 thinking. Our first book was Doughnut Economics. Some of our more recent 
 books have been Hayek's Bastards, Here Comes the Sun, Pacific Circuit, A 
 Paradise Built in Hell, What’s Left – 3 Paths Through the Planetary 
 Crisis, The Age of Insecurity and Elinor Ostrom’s Rules for 
 Radicals.\n\nFor more information:
