Second, the paper is keen to assess different possible attributes of an alternative monetary constitution to empower communities to emancipate individually and organize collectively bottom-up a transition process towards a permacultural non-growth local economy (i.e. stationary economy in terms of Herman Daly). The third endeavor of this paper is to discuss the potential of a complementary monetary system within social movements as mean to decommodificate resources, and to set up a self-organized new market mechanism coupled to the social needs of a free and pluralistic society and the reproductive bio-capacity of the nature. The paper considers the institution of money not only as mean of information to distribute and clear market produce, but also as mean of political participation, mean of social bonding (e.g. in terms of collaborative-production) and eventually a mean of information with regard to individual behavior as cultural driver to form new normative orders for conviviality.1 aDiaz, Josué, Manuel Qui  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/318901676nas a2200109   4500008004100000245013600041210006900177260001200246520121000258100002901468856006901497       2014                        eng d00aMoney and Freedom in the view of Polanyis Great Transformation: Decommodification by constituting alternative monetary institutions0 aMoney and Freedom in the view of Polanyis Great Transformation D  aLeipzig3 aThis paper focuses, first, on successfully best-practice-cases of alternative monetary systems introduced by so called Transitions Initiatives; as well know as Transition Towns/Networks. Second, the paper is keen to highlight different possible features of alternative monetary constitutions to empower communities to emancipate individually and to organize collectively bottom-up a transition process towards a permacultural-circular-flow-economy. The third endeavor of this paper is to discuss the potential of a complementary monetary institutions established within social movements as mean to decommodificate resources, and to set up a self-organized new market mechanism coupled to the social needs of a free and pluralistic society and the reproductive bio-capacity of the nature. The paper considers the institution of money not only as mean of information to distribute and clear market produce efficiently, but also as mean of free political participations, mean of free social-bondings (e.g. in terms of ‚co-creation') and eventually a mean of information with regard to free individual behavior as fundamental cultural driver to form new normative orders for conviviality (‚buen vivir‘).1 aDiaz, Josué, Manuel Qui  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/3198
