It’s here. Bring your tokens, bring your wares, bring whatever. Today, we will exchange goods with friends and strangers alike throughout the day. You may end with more items than you started. You may end with nothing. You may end with a kindred flame. We will bring a blanket/table/etc, as well as some hot coffee, and hang out in the park while we trade with the people of McCarren.
“No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing.” - David Graeber
