Change Begins Where You Live

The movement's core argument is that monetary reform cannot wait for consensus at the top. Real change requires organized advocates in every state, territory, county, and country willing to push their local governments to authorize and run monetary experimentation projects. Participation is both a civic act and a historical necessity: past monetary systems — the gold standard, fiat currency, sovereign money — were adopted through political pressure from organized constituencies, not from academic consensus alone. The same is true now.

After This does not advocate for one reform theory over another. It advocates for the right to experiment. The site presents a range of competing theories — from full-reserve banking to mutual credit, from land value tax to modern monetary theory — and invites visitors to weigh in through open polls. Whatever your political or economic background, you are welcome here. The unifying belief is simply that untested alternatives deserve a fair trial in real jurisdictions, at a scale where evidence can be gathered and evaluated honestly.

Ways to Get Involved

Here are five concrete actions you can take today to advance the cause of monetary experimentation in your jurisdiction.

1. Join the Mailing List
Subscribe to receive updates on active experimentation projects, new reform theory summaries, and poll results. Staying informed is the first step toward becoming an effective advocate in your community.

2. Start a Local Chapter
Organize a group in your city, county, state, or country dedicated to researching and presenting monetary reform proposals to local officials. Chapters are the on-the-ground force that turns movement momentum into legislative action.

3. Contact Your Elected Officials
Write, call, or meet with your representatives to ask them to consider authorizing a monetary or economic experimentation pilot program. A single motivated constituent can shift a representative's awareness of an issue entirely.

4. Spread the Movement on Social Media
Share afterthis.net, link to the Reform Theories page, and direct your network to the Polls page to vote on which systems deserve priority testing. Public visibility accelerates political will.

5. Propose a Jurisdiction-Level Experiment
If you have a connection to local government, a legal background, or policy experience, consider drafting a formal proposal for a contained monetary experiment in your jurisdiction. Use the contact form below to tell us about your idea — the movement will amplify it.
