On this episode of Destination DIY, we look at what happens when you think of the economy as a do-it-yourself project. Local currency as a form of marketing for a small town, how kids learn to barter and saving money without a bank are all part of this intricately woven show that might just make you feel optimistic about money for a change.
Segment A: Defining a DIY Economy with economist Joe Cortright, a visit to a Naked Lady Party (aka clothing exchange) and an inspiring story about personal sacrifice in the service of economic change.
Segment B: A look at how local currencies function in two different communities and how to save money without a bank.
Segment C: The economy of kids — bartering on the playground and selling art to grownups. Plus a look at economic models without money: The Really Really Free Market in Utica and the Baltimore Free Store.
Host name: Julie Sabatier (suh-BAH-tee-ay)
