More Social than #Bitcoin: Profiles on Complementary Currencies Part 1 The Brixton Pound | P2P Foundation

More Social than #Bitcoin: Profiles on Complementary Currencies Part 1 The Brixton Pound | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

““When people think of Brixton, too many think of gangs, drugs, and riots. We’re trying to turn that notion on its head.” That’s what Tom Shakhli, the general manager of the Brixton Pound, told me when I visited the team office at Lambeth Town Hall. A storied district in the middle of South London, Brixton is indeed an atypical home for a thriving local currency. As Tom notes, other local currencies in the U.K. are succeeding in suburban neighborhoods full of “hippies.” By contrast, the 5-year-old Brixton Pound is humming in one of the U.K.’s most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods, the heart of Black Britain, heavily hit by the recession.
