In the domain of alternative moneys you could visit the really interesting  
site <http://www.creationmonetaire.info> (in French) which is talking  
about bitcoins, free and unfree moneys, citizen’s dividend/basic income

I think also it could be valuable to put an alternative money in the  
Freedom Boxes.
