Muted

Money is a coordination tool. A step forward from Barter, where you need a reciprocal ask/offer and offer/ask to match. It is not the last step. As we get better at understanding and matching our potential and our purposes. All businesses are about problem-solving. Identifying and articulating a need/want, and a willingness to swap money for that being met. It starts with a community of need/want. A market. One of the reasons I am passionate about Community Wealth Funds, and Universal Basic Income, is that it could create a catalyst for universal understanding of basic needs. Rather than centralising decisions about what people need. Listen. Empower from the bottom up. Use words. In a world where money is how we speak, the impoverished are forced into silence. Their potential and purpose muted.
