(Re)Producing Value: Incommensurable Exchange

In the midst of a global economic crisis, alternative economic narratives gain attention. Can grassroots exchange systems (re)produce values of equity, sustainability, and democracy? What is the role of sustainability in discussions about economic possibilities? With MAD as its site of dialogue, the barter network Ourgoods.org presents a series of conversations between economic anthropologists and cultural producers. Join us for six free debates about the history and future of sharing, barter, and exchange.

Speakers include: Silvia Federici, David Graeber, Mary-Beth Raddon, Jason Pine, and Stephen Gudeman in dialog with organizers of the Brooklyn Time Bank, RISE, Black Women's Blueprint, Bit Coin, and OurGoods.
