On the face of it money is a tool for measuring value.

It is ubiquitous throughout the entire world influencing how people relate and work with one another.

It also seems to be failing us.The things most vital for the sustenance of life aren't measured by money because they simply have no quantifiable value, and so they get left out.

How do we optimize our "value measuring" systems to be accountable to the real wealth that is created and to the well being of all instead of making real wealth and real relationships beholden to the measure.

There is no one answer and our goal is to be inclusive of a wide range of practices all addressing this challenge. This includes those doing innovative things with 'conventional' money like Microcredit to non-monetary gift economies.

• Complementary currencies
