Abstract

Ce texte vise à répondre à la question des objectifs spécifiques assignés aux monnaies sociales. Définir ces objectifs permet de marquer les différences à l'égard des monnaies nationales ; ces différences ne peuvent se ramener à un simple écart dans l'étendue de l'espace de circulation de la monnaie. L'auteur distingue les monnaies sociales des monnaies dont l'émission relève d'une logique et d'institutions politiques et de celles dont l'émission relève d'une logique et d'organisations lucratives. Par contraste, les dispositifs de monnaies sociales sont créés dans une logique citoyenne par des groupes de personnes qui agissent hors du pouvoir politique et du pouvoir économique. Ce texte distingue trois grands objectifs pour les monnaies sociales. D'abord, il s'agit de localiser les échanges à l'intérieur d'un espace (défini par une communauté ou par un territoire). Ensuite, cette localisation doit conduire à une dynamisation des échanges, qui passe par divers dispositifs liés en particulier au crédit et au taux d'intérêt. Enfin, il s'agit de transformer la nature des échanges de sorte que, par exemple, les compétences non monnayables des personnes soient valorisées ou que les échanges internes soient détachés de la stricte logique de l'échange marchand. Ce dernier objectif distingue spécifiquement les monnaies sociales des autres formes de monnaies locales.
