'An inspirational book, crammed with ideas' TES

Economics is not everyone's idea of interesting bedtime reading. But here a business journalist has taken an unlikely economic topic - that of alternative currencies - investigated it (mainly in the USA) in depth and created a lively review that both fascinates and informs. It may still be a few years before you are being paid in 'time dollars', but LETS (Local Exchange and Trading Systems) are well established and people deal in 'Strouds', 'Bobbins' and 'Olivers', among other things, to a surprising extent. This could change the way you think about money forever. (Kirkus UK)
