Swap Shop
There is nothing in this world that has not yet been produced. There is so much food, housing, and clothing to be enough for everyone in this world. However, not everyone has enough money to buy and possess all those things. But we all possess time and knowledge. Swap Shop is a place where nobody asks you for money. In order to obtain the things on offer – the time and knowledge of other people, customers have to give their time or knowledge. The Swap Shop is a shop where the customer calls the price evaluating the item he wants in terms of time, things or knowledge. When coming to the Swap Shop to bring your belongings, time or advice. Anything will do – a dress, a shelf, an umbrella, or enthusiasm to take part in creative workshops. One can certainly bring also advice (e.g. how to make fire, pickle cucumbers, repair a bike or develop a new economic system). You will be able to exchange the goods you bring for videoed piece of advice, nice items or the opportunity to learn useful skills. (R.V.)
