economic democracy

This is a reposting of a "meme-of-the-week" that I wrote as preparation for an open money conference in early 2008 on the now defunct open money Ning site.  I'm reposting it here because has a number of very important ideas that are foundational to the MetaCurrency project.

Since we are claiming that a fundamental open money meme is that money is information, then a number of things should follow from that. What follows are two representations of such a consequence. I've created both a visual table, as well as a narrative to go along with it, that describe another way of thinking about what open money is trying to achieve: wealth literacy.
