Money occupies a powerful place in our lives. It is a problem, a goal, and motivator, a measure of self-worth and national progress, and even an influence on how we relate to each other and to nature, but what happens when communities start to reinvent money and markets? Brian J. Burke examines alternative economies activism in Medellín, Colombia, using twenty-five years of grassroots experimentation with barter markets and community currencies to develop new insights about capitalist culture, social movement strategy, community building, and the transformation of subjectivities. Hopeful yet critical, Social Exchange serves as a useful think piece for activists and scholars alike.
