Table of ContentsReviews'This comparative study of Time Banking offers lessons about ways we might collectively care for each other as austerity and recession diminish social services and labour market possibilities. The authors' findings concerning the limitations and contradictions within Time Banking are as fascinating and instructive as the evidence of successful community economic self-help that they also present.' Mary-Beth Raddon, Brock University, Canada 'Equal Time, Equal Value gives a wealth of information and insight about an important but largely unknown social invention. We are compelled to re-examine taken- for-granted assumptions about human nature and potentials for social change. It is a timely report, given our urgent need for fresh understanding about how to remake lives in the midst of economic crisis.'
