Sumario:The exponential money creation product of financialization implies a capital accumulation mechanism that leads to constant economic and financial crises. In the face of constant crises, alternative currencies have emerged throughout the world, from local communities and organized actors, as a monetary tool to solve the currency shortage. Although alternative currencies help to solve economic and social problems, it has the quality of becoming an ecological tool by disrupting the monetary financialization scheme that stimulates the reproduction of capital. The proposal to generate local economic schemes using currency as a tool for exchange faces financialization and the exponential growth of money and capital that leads to an ecological catastrophe. In this sense, alternative currencies used with a production and consumption structure oriented towards life are considered to assume an ecological quality.
