In an article on how to fight corporate crime locally (http://www.citizenworks.org/actions/localcorp-crime-actions.php) I found a neat link to a page about the concept of a local currency to support local businesses (http://www.schumachersociety.org/frameset_local_currencies.html). I can really see the point behind that but at the same time wonder how fast the corporate giants would extinguish such a scheme.
