It’s not a curriculum that would replace the current model, it’s more like a unit that would run in the background of the classroom as it’s currently structured.

I work in the current education system and run a class economy which takes my students through four epochs - barter system, feudal system built on gold standard, current capitalism into technocratic communism, then bitcoin.

Within each quarter students are given a role and then develop an understanding of how value transfer and control works in each system.

It’s also what I use at home with my own children.

Hello Sikto. What’s your take on chartalism? I came across this when reading a book about MMT.

“In macroeconomics, chartalism is a heterodox theory of money that argues that money originated historically with states' attempts to direct economic activity rather than as a spontaneous solution to the problems with barter or as a means with which to tokenize debt,[1] and that fiat currency has value in exchange because of sovereign power to levy taxes on economic activity payable in the currency they issue.”

I am not familiar with the theory. I will take a look thanks!
