Are money creation and anarchism oppositional practices, or can they both be considered as part of the self-organizing capacities of people? Starting with concrete examples, such as the Job Guarantee Program, this panel considers how such a program can be implemented in democratic ways by involving people in money creation. Drawing on anarchist practices and recent political experiences, such as the Rebel Cities Network and barter clubs in Argentina, this panel proposes to reconsider radical democracy through money creation. More broadly, we ask, how are places and relationships transformed when such monetary practices activate the self-organizing capacities of people?
