Bartering
You know what I would luv to organize. A space where people trade things for other things and do not use money at all. Like a swapmeet but rather than using money they trade food, tools, clothes, toys, electronic, or even their services like oil change for a yard trim or 4 hours of babysitting for 4 hours of walking dogs etc. Thus not using money... disinvesting on money. To crumble this economy even more. Every system goes down its just a matter of time...

I know what you mean. If people want me to shoot their portraits and I know they don't have money, I sometimes do trade or just do it for free. For example, my homegirl dyes my hair and I take her photos.
ReplyDeletei for one don t think money is the problem, but the value we give to things. as of now, i m trading my time and my effort( aka "work") for money, which money will buy things with a previously assigned value. what bothers me is not money, but that i ve been trading my time and effort for things, like a car, a computer etc. if you eliminated money, i d eliminate things altogether :) i wish i didn t need them.
