6 OCT. 2026 · Guest host Zaron Burnett investigates the curious question: Can we print our own money? The short answer is: yes, yes we can. To consider the more nuanced aspects of that question, Burnett spoke with Peter LaRochelle from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics. LaRochelle administers a local currency called BerkShares, which is available in the tourist-friendly Berkshire region of western Massachusetts. The alternative currency was created 20 years ago and serves as a successful model for how to create your own local currency. LaRochelle spoke to the various challenges and benefits as well as the financial freedom a community enjoys once you start printing your own money.
