Spend Local

High (youth) unemployment and the destruction of the welfare state are unnecessary. The solution: Spend Local strives for money to circulate longer locally, giving more people the opportunity to be productive. Spend Local creates extra trade and income. Hereby, together we can build a Europe without shortages. It is in the interest of all to increase prosperity, by helping one another up instead of pushing each other down. Local currencies create local prosperity, whilst the Euro can be used for trade with the rest of the world.

A civilized Europe does not forsake its young generation. It is time to set other priorities: the real crisis concerns the high youth unemployment rates

Spend Local and other solutions for the high youth unemployment.

We can build ourselves a Europe of healthy local economies. Through Spend Local an own digital local currency can be used and purchasing power can create more jobs and income. The first consumer that spends his money locally receives a discount as reward. Shops spread the local currency through an ingenious system that stimulates the local economy and simultaneously enables trade with the rest of the world. In this way purchasing power circulates for a longer period within the region: resulting in more jobs, more taxable income and the discount given to the first consumer is earned back.
