THE FUTURE OF MONEY Bernard A. Lietaer - library.uniteddiversity ...

The game can be played with one or several people. You can do it
by yourself, with your family or a group of friends or strangers. You
may learn a lot about yourself and others in the process. There are no
losers in this game: but the one who has most fun wins.
Just pretend that there is no scarcity of money. It has happened by
magic. You have become the founder of a large financial institution
or foundation and the rules of the game require you to spend your
money within your community. It can be a neighbourhood, a group
of friends or your family, a whole region, or a non-geographic
community like a sub-group on the Internet. You then decide what
you want to do with your money in this community. You can realise
your dreams, and create a community of your dreams.
Then you answer these three questions.
1. What talent would you like to develop and offer to your
community?
2. What is the vision of your newly formed community?
3. What would you like to accomplish as a group?
Who are the other people or organisations you need to realise this
vision? If you play this game with others, get everyone to explain
their answers.
In a second round, see how your different dreams can help each
other, how some of your initiatives can mesh with those of others.
You will often find that they strengthen and synergies each other in
unexpected ways.
Some of me goals for communities that have come up when this
game has been played include:
- Quality child care
