An integral monetary and economic reform - the Gradido concept
This concept study formulates the Gradido model as an integrative response to four intertwined tensions of the present: the growth compulsion of the debt money system, the substitution of gainful employment by AI and robotics, the concentration of wealth and the transgression of planetary boundaries. At its core is a plus-sum mechanism in a new currency (Gradido, GDD): debt-free per capita money creation, mathematically complemented by a perishability (demurrage) of 50 % per year. Open research questions are explicitly stated; the study is an invitation to large-scale cooperation.

Differentiated peacebuilding - Gradido in the Senghaas hexagon
This working paper locates the gradido concept in Dieter Senghaas‘ (2004) civilizational hexagon - six mutually supporting conditions for sustainable peace. Based on the convergence of fifteen independent lines of connection from peace and cooperation research, it examines how a monetary and economic architecture can structurally shape peace. A comparison with seven other reform concepts shows: Gradido is the only one to address all six hexagon conditions. The methodological core is connectivity, not superiority - the paper sees itself as an invitation to convergence in peace research, reform economics and political practice.
