The Banks That Run on Time Instead of Money

from People Fixing the World · host BBC World Service

Around the world, thousands of people are using a special kind of bank. Instead of using it to save and spend money, they’re using it to save and spend time. Based on the idea that everyone’s time is worth the same, time bankers exchange lawn mowing for childcare, and dog walking for graphic design. World Hacks reporter Tom Colls enters the time economy and looks at the projects trying to upgrade time banking for the digital age.Presenter: Nick Holland Reporter: Tom CollsPhoto Caption: Clock and piggy bank.
