[edit] Proposed Merge
I don't think this page should be merged into mutualism (economic theory). There is a connection between mutualism and mutual credit, but I don't think that the connection is strong enough to warrant a merge. If mutual credit were deemed insignificant enough that it did not deserve its own page, I think it would be better to merge it into alternative currency, as both of those pages are smaller and they seem to have more in common. Personally, I would oppose merging it into anything; I think this page on mutual credit should be expanded and kept in its own right. This is especially true if we want to have a balanced geographic coverage. Some points to think about:
- Mutual credit can and is used by people who do not necessarily adhere to the philosophy of mutualism. Much of the stuff I've read about mutual credit does not explicitly mention the philosophy of mutualism.
- Mutualism is much broader than the idea of mutual credit, and mutualists advocate all sorts of reforms in society, ones that go much deeper than the implementation of a mutual credit system alone.
