Decolonizing Money

Om Decolonizing Money

To 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 wish 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. Drawing 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 canceling debt and a worldwide basic income. Beyond simply a store of value and a medium of exchange, Linares shows us that money is a series of promises a society makes to itself and challenges us to make them otherwise. This innovative book takes lessons from global history and social movements 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.
