How to avoid design errors from the current economic system and how to use the right, proven,  building blocks?

In March 2012 we’re starting off with a new series of workshops titled “Design your own economic system”. If you’re interested in having us, we can come to the UK and EU during the summer of 2012.

The workshop is intended for transition and permaculture users who want to avoid falling into the money trap. During the workshop, the following topics are met using films, images and cases.

  • Fractional Reserve Banking
  • Fiat Currency
  • tapework-economics / cycle- economics
  • Definition van units
  • Upside-down Economics
  • Community Currency
  • LETS
  • Time Banking
  • Barter
  • Bitcoin
  • Colourcash
  • Open Space / Your Own Case

We found that we actually did not need more or better code. We needed community, and produce.

Well there have been things going on…. maybe we need the code ready to go anytime soon. It’s got to be finished off! You’re welcome to track our development at Sourceforge  or the project home page http://rgbtrade.org/.

A primary goal is a game where participants learn how to analyse life cycles of just about everything. This world of everything will first be designed using UML techniques and will be simulated and computed using the R-Project programming and modelling language for statistical somputing.

One of todays shortcomings of our current approach is that the most part is written in human language. Few diagrams exist however. A strong, statistical model of the economic-ecologic ecsystem will give a brighter,  more founded numeric analysis.
