ABOUT FREAKONOMICS RADIO:
Discover the hidden side of everything with host Stephen J. Dubner, co-author of the Freakonomics books. Each week, Dubner speaks with Nobel laureates and provocateurs, intellectuals and entrepreneurs, and various other underachievers to uncover things you always thought you knew (but didn’t) and things you never thought you wanted to know (but do) — from the economics of sleep to the future of education, from markets for marriage to the surprising utility of wolves.

ABOUT THE FREAKONOMICS RADIO NETWORK:
Freakonomics began as a book, which led to a blog, a documentary film, more books, a pair of pants, and in 2010, a podcast called Freakonomics Radio. Hosted by Stephen J. Dubner, it’s one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with a reputation for storytelling that is both rigorous and entertaining. Its archive of more than 500 episodes is available, for free, on any podcast app, and the show airs weekly on NPR stations. Freakonomics Radio is now the flagship show of the Freakonomics Radio Network, which includes the podcasts No Stupid Questions, People I (Mostly) Admire, and The Economics of Everyday Things.

    Time-banking is just another word for money. Money is just a scorekeeper for services rendered/goods for sale.

    This just sounds like money on the honor system. Sounds like a bad idea.
  • For an episode all about time banking, it's disappointing how little time is spent explaining what it is and how it works. I'm intrigued but unclear about the concept.

    All good.........until the government decides it needs to be taxed.

    It's almost like economists either don't understand how fiat currency works, or they're completely corrupted. Because to talk about this and not mention how fiat money works, where a non elected group (the central bank) can press a button and make as much as they feel like, is very naive. The obvious answer to this right now is bitcoin. And it's only a lack of knowledge that's holding it back, but it's coming. It's not a "time bank" that's idiotic.
