Policy Press
Four Time banking
Abstract
Moving beyond the contextual and theoretical discussions of previous chapters it is now possible to start to consider specific policy proposals. As mentioned in Chapter One this is centred on the practices of time banking. As such the discussion in this chapter outlines the historical development of time banking, the key theory related to notions of co-production, the market economy and the core economy and the international development of time bank practice. Through this discussion the application of this form of exchange is explored internationally and in relation to welfare applications.
