MoneyLab #7: Outside of Finance

On feminist economics, social payments, corporate crime and the “blokechain”

Since 2013, MoneyLab has explored questions around the design of money, the democratization of finance, and the new shifts in fintech.  On 14 and 15 November, the 7th edition of MoneyLab was held in Amsterdam. At MoneyLab #7: Outside of Finance, we looked beyond the world of libertarian startups with their often masculine preoccupations. From hyperlocal cryptocurrencies at techno festivals to self-organized exchange systems in refugee communities, what are promising design strategies to counter the corporatization of money? Can we imagine a crypto economy that values care work and focuses on equity and solidarity?
