Do Lixo ao Santo António: o que valem as moedas locais?

Ana Margarida Esteves 0 Comments , , , , , , , ,

Ana Margarida Esteves, socióloga e investigadora no CEI-IUL, foi entrevistada pelo DN, na rúbrica ‘sociedade’, para uma reportagem sobre moedas locais.

Segundo Ana Margarida Esteves, “o objetivo é criar moedas que estejam sob o controlo da comunidade e não de entidades abstratas, para que a comunidade possa controlar a taxa de juro em microcréditos, por exemplo, como acontece com o Banco Palmas, no Brasil”, daí que “as relações de proximidade e a confiança” sejam dois dos requisitos para o sucesso destes projetos.

O artigo pode ser lido na íntegra no DN.
