This paper will mainly focus on the structural problems that arise when financing Public Economies and Care Activities (PE&CA) in the tertiary age, of post growth or Actual de-growth. For many reasons PE&CA cannot systematically grow in productivity as required by the growth logic. This creates difficulties for capitalist economic growth, and also for a balanced development of PE&CA, and it calls for new sources of funding and new monetary institutions, more appropriate for sustainable socio-economic development, especially for PE&CA. I will consider two main proposals: a) a shift in tax burden from wages to ownership and use of environmental resources; b) the establishment of mutual credit systems without interest, based on social average value of time units and managed electronically by local communities governments.1 aRuzzene, Maurizio  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/3407
