Since I&rsquo;m still waiting for it (alas, the order is bundled with Toni Price&rsquo;s yet-to-be released cd), a <a href="http://mp3.wtprn.com/Brouillet/0709/20070924_Mon_Brouillet.ram">podcast</a> announced on the IJCCR mailing list is a welcome gift in the meantime.</p> <p>She notes that money is just a receipt (or as <a href="http://beyondmoney.wordpress.com/">Thomas Greco</a> often says credit) that the community agrees on, so there&rsquo;s no need for a private issuer.
