Would the World Be Better Without Money? Notes from History, Anthropology and Political Economy about Markets and Alternative Currencies
Abstract
The present article aims to answer the question of what to do so that alternative currencies go outside the paradigm of national currency currencies, what is really being questioned is how to make the currency disruptive to the dominant economic system, the capitalist economy; to be able to respond, we bring notes from economic anthropology, history and political economy on the market and currencies to find their foundation and thereby make visible what are the guidelines for these spaces can be disputed and take them to a logic of reproduction of life. You can find within the present text that markets have historically been peripheral to economic human activity and that reproductive logics are based on reciprocal and redistributive relationships of a non-commercial nature, however, we maintain that the constitution of markets and currencies is a first step within the construction of other economies.
