Complementary Currency Systems Bridging Communities : Proceedings of 6th Biennial RAMICS Congress, 27-29 October, 2022, University of National and World Economy, Sofia, Bulgaria
In Brazil, some local governments are creating their own social currencies for paying social benefits to poor families. These governments were
inspired by the experiences of community development banks (CDB). In addition, the transition for a digital platform of social currencies with the E-Dinheiro platform has contributed to municipalities’ process of reapplication of the CDB methodology. This article aims to understand how these social currencies have been assimilated by some local governments. This was an exploratory research and we presented two cases: the Livre (Free) and the Araribуia currencies. We sought to understand the cases, associating them with the concept of public policy instruments. The discussion may contribute with theoretical grounds for the use of social currencies in municipal public policies for a democratic governance.
