The Wörgl experiment was a practical attempt to implement Silvio Gesell's theory of free economy. It was banned by the government after a year and a half. However, in the meantime, the municipality of Wörgl in Austria experienced an unprecedented economic upturn with its free money experiment amidst the Great Depression. Free money is cash that can never be hoarded or accumulated without risk or harm and is always maintained in an amount in circulation that corresponds to the supply of goods, ensuring that its purchasing power remains stable. Unlike today's money, which is permanent money, it can never be withdrawn from circulation by individuals without risk or harm and later reintroduced at will.
