(2009-11-07) Boyd Future Money Conclusion

Stowe Boyd concludes his investigations into the future of Money (Slow Money, LETS).

My most basic recommendation to the Slow Money founders was that they drop a variety of fragmented activities, and start a Credit Union... We need to scream at the local level about food policy: school lunches, public support of local agriculture, and ending food deserts. But we need to do this in a form that can scale, like credit unions, and organizations where local chapters collate their efforts with others.
