Description

Explore how local money networks challenge traditional globalisation through this in-depth ethnographic case study of Manchester's alternative currency movements. This Routledge book analyses the motivations and aims behind community-created currencies that have emerged globally over the past 15 years, including Local Exchange Trading Schemes in the UK, Time Dollars in the US, Green Dollars in New Zealand, Australia and Canada, Trading Circles in Hungary, Barter Networks in Argentina, and Talents in Germany. Drawing on detailed fieldwork, the author examines how these diverse trading networks operate as alternatives to conventional economic systems, providing valuable insights into grassroots economic innovation and resistance to mainstream financial structures. Essential reading for economists, business scholars, and anyone interested in understanding how communities are creating their own financial systems.
