a different kind of Timebank - Social Care Japanese-style

[Kate maclean]

Hi Folks

I came across this and thought it might work well in the UK : the emphasis is on TIME as the benefits might take decades to follow through. It gets away from the altruism which often defeats timebanking : people volunteer to feel good and don't want anything back. This system allows a person to 'provide' for themselves in Old Age - who would turn that down?! It's in Chapter 9 - tho the rest is also interesting
