Local Currencies and Community Development: An Evaluation of Green Dollar Exchanges in New Zealand
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the extent to which local currencies are a new tool for promoting community development through an examination of green dollar exchanges in New Zealand. Exploring their origins and growth as well as the degree to which they are achieving their objectives of community-building, creating more localised economies and helping the unemployed to participate in productive activity, the finding is that local currency systems represent a potentially powerful new weapon in the armoury of community development agencies. To aid their further development, the barriers constraining their growth are identified and recommendations made as to how these can be overcome.
