El banco de tiempo Por Javier Segura del Pozo Médico salubrista “Cambio una hora cuidando a tus hijos, por una hora de clases de cocina”. Como continuación de nuestra serie Desarrollo comunitario (DC) (ver Desarrollo comunitario), hoy hablaremos sobre los bancos de tiempo. Fuente imagen: ¿Qué es un banco de tiempo? Es un sistema de trueque o intercambio de servicios, en el que la unidad de valor es el tiempo. Los que reciben servicios no lo hacen desde una base caritativa, sino sustentado en la reciprocidad. Principios La filosofía de los bancos del tiempo se basa en cinco principios: Todo el mundo tiene una habilidad o servicio que ofrecerAlgunos trabajos no se pueden valorar con un valor monetarioReciprocidad en la ayudaLas redes sociales son necesariasRespeto por todos los seres humanos Como funciona El voluntarismo de estas experiencias y, a veces su falta de apoyo, han resultado en que muchos de estas iniciativas fracasaran.

Time banking Time banking is a pattern of reciprocal service exchange that uses units of time as currency. It is an example of a complementary monetary system. A time bank, also known as a service exchange, is a community that practices time banking. The unit of currency, always valued at an hour's worth of any person's labor, used by these groups has various names, but is generally known as a time dollar in the USA and a time credit in the UK. Time banking is primarily used to provide incentives and rewards for work such as mentoring children, caring for the elderly, being neighborly—work usually done on a volunteer basis—which a pure market system devalues. Origins and philosophy[edit] According to Edgar S. As a philosophy, time banking also known as Time Trade[11] is founded upon five principles, known as Time Banking's Core Values:[12] Everyone is an assetSome work is beyond a monetary priceReciprocity in helpingSocial networks are necessaryA respect for all human beings The time dollar[edit] Dr.
MI Alliance of TimeBanks - How It Works At its most basic level, TimeBanking is simply about spending an hour doing something for somebody in your community. That hour goes into the TimeBank as a Time Dollar. Then you have a Time dollar to spend on having someone doing something for you. It’s a simple idea, but it has powerful ripple effects in building community connections. Each TimeBank has a website where you list what you would like to do for other members. With TimeBanking, you will be working with a small group of committed individuals who are joined together for a common good. | Timebanking UK Fourth Corner Exchange Inc BerkShares: Local Currency for the Berkshire Region Time-based currency In economics, a time-based currency is an alternative currency where the unit of exchange is the person-hour. Some time-based currencies value everyone’s contributions equally: one hour equals one service credit. In these systems, one person volunteers to work for an hour for another person; thus, they are credited with one hour, which they can redeem for an hour of service from another volunteer. Critics charge that this would lead to fewer doctors or dentists. Early time-based currency exchanges[edit] Edgar S.

Mutualism (economic theory) Mutualism is an economic theory and anarchist school of thought that advocates a society where each person might possess a means of production, either individually or collectively, with trade representing equivalent amounts of labor in the free market.[1] Integral to the scheme was the establishment of a mutual-credit bank that would lend to producers at a minimal interest rate, just high enough to cover administration.[2] Mutualism is based on a labor theory of value that holds that when labor or its product is sold, in exchange, it ought to receive goods or services embodying "the amount of labor necessary to produce an article of exactly similar and equal utility".[3] Mutualism originated from the writings of philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Mutualists have distinguished mutualism from state socialism, and do not advocate state control over the means of production. Mutualism, as a term, has seen a variety of related uses.

Summary of No More Throw-Away People - Part One | Timebank Aotearoa New Zealand The Co-Production Imperative Edgar S Cahn Essential Books, 2nd Edition (2004) Summary by Juliet Adams, Lyttelton Timebank member (2011) In March 1980, Cahn suffered a major heart attack, and hated the thought of giving up his fights for equal justice, and the war on poverty, to become useless, a throw-away person.

Time Dollar programs cost money to run, and at first the sheer novelty generated seed money. Stories of Time Dollar success showed four core values: 1. 2. 3. 4. The predictable dangers are: Professional monopolization, professional exploitation, and professional domination. The essential element is a social justice perspective. Co-Production is a process: it establishes a parity between the worlds of the market and money, and community and family. Continue reading - Part Two
