Time Banking
Time Banking is a form of community currency born under the noble guise of treating humanity’s most precious resource—time—as legal tender. It proclaims equality by exchanging service hours, yet in practice those with free time dominate the market while the time-poor remain trapped in a perpetual debt cycle. What is lent and borrowed is not just time but invisible currencies of superiority and helplessness. Paradoxically, the very act of buying and selling time erodes its intrinsic value.
