Overview
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? Over the last twenty-five years, grassroots activists in
Medellín, Colombia, have used barter markets and community
currencies as one strategy to re-weave a social fabric shredded by
violence and to establish an economy founded on respect and
reciprocity rather than exploitation. In Social Exchange ,
Brian J. Burke provides a deep ethnographic investigation of this
activism and its effects. This story draws us into the cultural and
material effects of capitalism and narco-violence, while also
helping us understand what new radical imaginations look like and
how people bring them to life. The result is an intimate glimpse of
urban life in Latin America, as well as a broader analysis of
non-capitalist or post-capitalist possibility.
