Scec: it is not an economic rebellion, but a social revolution
Many will have heard abundantly of "scec" by now. Without knowing too much about the network that circulated these pieces of paper. The validity of the object itself has often been discussed extensively, categorizing it as an alternative currency. In short, a replacement of the European currency that can be used in limited contexts that have joined this "dissociation" from the euro. Wrong! This statement is incorrect.
The Italians have not yet succeeded in implementing an economy plan independent of the European system. So it would be good to clarify what the scec really is, how and where to use it.
We remember that it is always a solidarity network. So, even before talking about economics, we are talking about a collaboration between people who are sensitive to the issue. People who create a circuit in which the moral basis is trust in others, a way to free oneself from fears related to the present economy.
The scec is NOT an alternative currency.
Rather, it is a coupon, or a small discount, that you can make during a sale. The places that have considered the use of scecs agree to make a small discount on the euro and pay the difference in scec, so that the coupon can be used again by another merchant as long as he also has an "agreement" with the scec.
Therefore it is more to be considered a solidarity exchange network that allows a global economic facilitation. There are also those who argued that this method can be considered a real novelty to mask tax evasion. To avoid this thought it is good to specify as written on the site itself that "the scec from a fiscal point of view is an Unconditional Discount and does not enter the taxable amount".
The Sardex expands throughout the boot
We cannot speak of scec without making any reference to sardex. The sardex has a very similar philosophy to the scec, with the difference that it existed in Sardinia long before the scec spread. This is used as a 100% trading method in some contexts if the state economy allows, or as a discount, speaking in terms of a complementary and / or additional market.
Sardex originates in Sardinia. In fact, there are now ten regions that exploit sardex.
When the discourse of "alternative currencies" comes into play, it is therefore good to inform yourself. Before believing that a revolution against the current monetary system has begun in Italy. Thus understanding that ideas such as the SCEC can be a shoulder to make the local economy move smoothly in a completely legal and supportive way.
