Timebanker on the spot
10 minutes with Jeroen Nooter

How would you define money? How would you define time?
I associate time with something positive, and money I associate with something negative. They have a very interesting relationship, I work for money to pay for my house, for instance; time becomes a luxury then. Not everybody can afford it to work via Timebank.

When did you learn about Timebank?

Fire, iron, reproduction - A glow in the mass
On “Work That Stands in the Way of Work” by (among others) Gaby Felten
