A Framework for Economic Resilience Through Monetary Plurality
Keywords:

The persistence of global financial instability, sovereign debt fragility, inflationary volatility, and asymmetric currency dependence has intensified scholarly debate regarding the structural limitations of centralized fiat-monetary regimes. This study advances a theoretically grounded and institutionally operational Monetary Plurality Framework designed to enhance systemic resilience through diversified currency architecture, asset-anchored valuation, and hybrid governance integration. Drawing upon interdisciplinary monetary theory, comparative institutional analysis, and resilience economics, the research develops a multi-tier monetary ecosystem combining centralized macro-stability with decentralized micro-adaptability enabled by distributed ledger technologies. The findings suggest that monetary diversification reduces crisis transmission, strengthens domestic productive linkage, and improves long-term financial sovereignty. The study contributes to the literature by synthesizing complementary currency theory, asset-backed monetary design, and digital governance economics into a unified resilience-oriented model suitable for volatile global conditions.
