Tuesday 3/12 Are there alternatives to our current forms of money? On the next Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with Bernard Lietaer and Jacqui Dunne, authors of Rethinking Money: How New Currencies Turn Scarcity into Prosperity. In the past 30 years, there has been a considerable growth of cooperative currencies around the world— from fewer than a handful in 1980 to more than 4,000 today. How does an alternative monetary system work? Are you rethinking money in your community?

The wrongful conviction, imprisonment, and then recent release of West Oakland resident, Ronald Ross, was said to be the result of shoddy police work and lying witnesses. How frequently are people like Ronald Ross wrongly convicted and sentenced? What in our system leads to these failures? And what can be done about it?
