EXCHANGE
The political economists argued two centuries ago that economies are based on three
functions: production, consumption, and exchange. This is also bartering system.
In exchange more you give, richer you are. It is opposite of consuption based living.
There should be a new definition for work and living.And it is exchanging goods and services.
instead of possession, people are sharing their time,skills and anything between each other.
this is a way of shaking our robotic life. Our internet is a big pool of gift and sharing.
It is a free source to learn and create. With our expanding internet, new websites and
projects like uniiverse,wikipedia, timebanking,skillshare,snapgoods,meal exchange is
becoming bigger and sharing is rising. Other than consuption and money based living,
There is no need for domination or competition. Sharing is establishing a link between people
and also it is creating happiness and trust. It is developing social ties and obligations in community.
Which is a win win situation.
More you give is more you get!
TIME BANKING

TEM
People in Greek found a way out from their economic crisis.
The group’s concept is simple. People sign up online and get access
to a database that is kind of like a members-only Craigslist. One unit
of TEM is equal in value to one euro, and it can be used to exchange
good and services. Members start their accounts with zero, and they
accrue credit by offering goods and services. They can borrow up to
300 TEMs, but they are expected to repay the loan within a
fixed period of time.
