Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want the state to harness money's power. \u003ci\u003eDecolonizing Money\u003c\/i\u003e presents an anarchist theory of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on anarchist, abolitionist, and anti-colonial feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a necessary step towards the cancellation of debt and establishing a worldwide basic income. Linares shows that money, beyond a store of value and a medium of exchange, is a series of promises a society makes to itself - and he challenges us to make them otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulio Cèsar Linares\u003c\/b\u003e is an economic anthropologist and community organizer.
