| Abstract | Alternative currency systems offer a new articulation of economic and politics in two opposite directions. On one side, a liberal current wants to counter the State monopoly on the monetary issue and central banks. On the other side, monetary pluralism is wishing to sedition with the dominance of neoliberal economy. Along this spectrum, monetary sovereignty is questioned and, in the case of social currencies, some experiences are seeking to correct social regulation of the welfare state. This article seeks to demonstrate how social currencies are moving beyond the traditional criteria of democracy inherited from modernity. At first, a semantic identification shows that social currencies are scrambling traditional oppositions as public/private, macro/micro. Then, forms of organization of these groups are put into perspective with the micropolitics of Deleuze and Foucault’s microphysic of power. Does the democratic dimension of social currencies only lies in organization who presides at their institution? Or is it dwelling in the practices and usages? Their philosophical perspective led to a debate on the definition of the currency as a institution of a social debt as “debt of life”, because they sees debt as a technology of neoliberal governmentality. The second part of the article compares the concepts of debt-currency, and “currency of common”. Between currency debt and the common currency, is it a shade on the symbolism of the currency, or this alternative expresses two different designs of an emancipatory politics? |
