Means of Exchange (MOE)

There is a growing movement demanding more from exchange transactions and from the organizations which facilitate them. All across the world, people are experimenting with innovative ways to overcome widespread challenges such as the lack of access to financial institutions, bankruptcy, and the waste and isolation caused by social and geographic divides. The reinvention of exchange is made possible by the ready availability of digital technologies, some of which measure profit in social outcomes, but all radically reinvent the idea of exchange to meet twenty-first century needs. Creating community currencies, sharing resource platforms and crowdfunding direct aid are some of the responses to this challenge.
