Die Finanzierung unserer Zukunft: Wie wir mit einer digitalen Parallelwahrung die Welt retten, unsere Gemeinguter finanzieren und die Nachhaltigkeitsziele erreichen

Die Nachhaltigkeitsdebatte und die Frage,ob das derzeitige Finanzsystem diese Anforderungen erfüllen kann, werden durch das Buch "Finanztao" erörtert. Es wird argumentiert, dass eine parallele elektronische Währung, speziell für die Finanzierung globaler Gemeinschaftsgüter und die Bereitstellung der erforderlichen Ressourcen konzipiert ist, die Zukunft finanzieren könnte. Der Autor vertritt die Ansicht, dass die Ausgabe einer Blockchain-fähigen elektronischen Parallelwährung und die Nutzung anderer Kanäle für den Geldfluss anstelle der herkömmlichen Kanäle die Zukunft auf andere Weise finanzieren könnten.

The current financial system is widely recognized as a critical missing link in the ongoing debate on sustainability and the ability of the system to meet the emerging demands of a more sustainable future. To date, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have primarily been funded through private sector initiatives, traditional taxation and public sector fees, or philanthropic contributions. However, if we assume that approximately 4-5 billion dollars will be required annually in the next 10-15 years to finance our future, these conventional funding sources are insufficient in terms of both scope and speed. Moreover, the inherent instability of our financial system forces the global community to prioritize the repair and stabilization of the existing system over other initiatives.

The emergence of cryptocurrencies, particularly through the use of distributed ledger technology (primarily blockchain), has prompted leading central banks to explore the potential application of this technology to create independent sources of purchasing power. In this context, this book offers a novel approach, namely the introduction of a parallel electronic currency designed specifically for financing global community goods and providing the necessary resources for achieving the SDGs. Furthermore, this mechanism would have a stabilizing effect on the existing currency system.

In the book, it is argued that one potential way to achieve this is by granting modified monetary policy mandates to central banks, providing them with new liquidity to inject into the system through a top-down approach. Alternatively, the liquidity could be generated through unconventional means.

Overall, this book provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion on sustainable finance and offers a potential solution to address the challenges posed by the current financial system. By exploring innovative approaches such as parallel electronic currencies and modified monetary policy mandates, we can work towards a more sustainable and resilient future for all.
