digging around...
I'll admit - this topic is outside of any area ='ve explored, save some of the kinds of things Philip Rosedale had to
=onsider with Second Life.
So I don't know what =ind of guy the guy below is, but he sent along some material and gave =e a lecture on how there
are forces for good and forces for ill when it =omes to alternative money. That, and a few stories about areas =here a
local alternative currency was created, only to be made =orthless later, leaving a lot of poor =ehind.
Would love to get your short list of =HO would come to this, as well as your list of questions to explore (so =hat, even
with my lack of knowledge, I can craft an agenda for =iscussion). Then, I'd suggest the Andaz in NY as the venue -- =hat
way, we get a guy like barnaby to show =p....
thoughts? Are you still in =aris?

Dear
it was a pleasure to meet you at the DLD in Munich, where we shortly =alked about monetary theory.
As promised, I am sending you a PDF of my book Clash of =urrencies, which in 2009 was published under the
German title =i>WELT MACHT GELD.
Originally, my background lies in engineering, where I am working in =he development of extremely lightweight
diesel engines for aircraft (zoche.de). Some 15 years ago, I got curious =bout monetary theory; my research into that
topic earned me some =nvitations as speaker e.g. at UNESCO conferences and allowed me to =stablish connections to
EFTA_R1_00143788
EFTA01802168
scholars as well as activists in the field =most of which are working on complementary currency systems or payment
=olutions). Next month, I will be presenting at a monetary conference in =urich (program attached).
All the best,
Georg
... some more info about myself:
I was born in Munich in =968, where I studied engineering and philosophy.
I am holding numerous international patents on internal combustion =ngines, electro motors and
reverse vending sytems. In 1992, my work on =ighweight diesel engines for aircraft received a research award. Since
=995, the Zoche aero-diesel is on permanent display in the Deutsche =useum.
In 2001, I cofounded the grassroots movement The United Transnational =epublics which is striving for a
more participatory globalisation =nd has been joined by more than 6.000 citizens from over 100 nation =tates.
In 2006, I was invited by the UNESCO to present at the =1>International Forum on the Social Science and
to contribute to =he Buenos Aires Declaration. In 2007, I was a speaker at the =i>UNESCO Monterrey Forum, where I co-
authored the Monterrey =anifesto and was selected as winner in the Global Governance =ssays Contest.
In 2008, I was delivering the opening keynote at the Impulso XXI =nternational Mechanical Engineering
Congress in Monterrey.
Clash of Currencies is my second book publication following my =erman title WELT MACHT GELD.
