Priešinamasi, lig šiol, taip pat ir šitaip.


The co-operative society Jord Arbejde Kapital (gera mintis:)) was founded in Denmark during the Great Depression in 1931.

$ yra Pasaulio rezervinė valiuta, kokia patapo po II WW Marshall plano dėka, kurio dėka USA pagaliau išlindo iš Didžiosios Depresijos, kuriai sukelti pakako 20-ties metų – nuo 1913-jų – kai $ ėmėsi spausdinti privatus bankas, trumpai vadinamas FED.

The society issued a popular local currency which was subsequently outlawed by the Danish government in 1933. In 1934 it founded an interest-free savings and loan system and a Local Exchange Trading System. Though both systems were forced to close, the savings and loan system reemerged in 1944. The experiments with JAK banking in Denmark inspired a group in Sweden to develop a non-profit named Jord Arbete Kapital - Riksförening för Ekonomisk Frigörelse (National Association for Economic Emancipation) in 1965. This pioneers' group developed the mathematical system based on saving points, called "balanced saving system". The association grew slowly at first and only received a banking license from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority at the end of 1997.

A membership of approximately 38,000 (as of november 2011) dictates the bank's policy and direction. The Board of Directors is elected annually by members, who are each allowed only one share of the bank. JAK Members Bank does not charge or pay interest on its loans, a principle it shares with Islamic banking. All of the bank's activities occur outside of the capital market as its loans are financed solely by member savings.

According to the JAK philosophy, economic instability is a result of the taking of interest.

JAK operates under the following premises:

The taking of interest is inimical to a stable economy

Interest causes unemployment, inflation, and environmental destruction

Interest moves money from the poor to the rich

Interest favours projects which tend to yield high profits in the short-term

The ultimate goal of JAK is to abolish interest as an economic instrument and to replace it with instruments that are in the best interest of people. First aim of the bank is to offer a feasible financial instrument to its members, sustainable for the environment and serving local economy.

Deposits are accepted and loans are given in Swedish Krona (SEK).

Čia bene silpniausia vieta.

Nes krona nuvertėja.

Многие идеи JAK пересекаются с идеями немецкого экономиста Сильвио Гезеля о свободной экономике и свободных деньгах.

JAK banking is made possible by saving points system: members accumulate saving points during saving periods, they use saving points asking for a loan. The main idea is that one is allowed to take a loan for himself in the same measure he allows other people to have loans, saving into his account. For this reason (asking for a loan), earned saving points must be equal to spent saving points to ensure sustainability. If a member is borrowing more saving points than he has, he is obliged to continue accumulating so-called "aftersavings" during repayment period. "Aftersavings" are a fixed quota of money that one must save after his loan was given, so they can continue earning saving points. This way, at the end of the repayment period, earned saving points will be equal to spent saving points, and at that time he will be able to have back all his aftersavings.
