Will this currency lead to: fairly valuing natural capital and natural resources, the soils ability to regenerate, the value of the oceans ecosystem, the value of a stable climate, the undiscounted value of the future etc.. Will it lead to: valuing durability, efficiency, rather than the wastefulness that is gdp, valuing that which increases human well being, not which is made necessary by detracting from it? Will it lead to valuing: all the unmonetized social capital that makes up life, all the unpaid labor that makes everything else possible? Will it lead to valuing individuals for thier own sake as more than just economic machinery? Valuing human potential where it is wasted? Valuing peace over war? Valuing cooperation?

Utopian? Well yes if one expects it out of whole cloth and for the world to be entirely perfect. That's not the point. The point is: so much of what is destructive these days is driven by money. And people have done a lot of thinking on currency and human values (Thomas Greco, Bernard Lietaer) and how currency could be used to value and encourage all that is valuable, and I think that's the desirable direction to head in.
