Here at The Reset we have dedicated much of our content to determining how the government and banking interests might deal with the failing debt based monetary system here, here, here, and here. This is for good reason since they will likely determine the path taken. I have tried to make it clear that these are not the directions I would like to take our monetary system, so now I would like to offer a first step of what I would consider the right direction. It is only a first small step since changing over 100 years of monetary inertia cannot be done overnight.
