In class we discussed systems of exchange with the other teams, specifically now relating to how we would like our market to run. A summary of what groups agreed on:
- Reciprocity; an exchange with mutual benefit and eliciting an emotional response.
- Exchange of experience; exchanging labour for an experience and engaging the senses.
- Experience only; come with nothing, leave with nothing, no prizes makes teams more equal.
- Anonymous kindness; giving with no expectation of return, kindness as a currency.
- Giving and gifting; pay it forward, gifts between stalls.
Overall, the main ideals the entire class seemed to agree on were:
- No currency
- Focus on experience and charity
- Only paid in time
This leads us into next week's homework and discussion of how we want our market to be organized and what we want our stall to be.
