Yes, but people need money to pay their rent and generally improve their economic situation. Unemployment, underemployment, low wages, zero hours contracts, poor terms and conditions of employment and titchy pension contributions (and only when forced through legislation), mean that many are facing a cumulative financial disadvantage as they age. Time banks can help, but it would be great if the people assets - time, skills, contacts - could be recognised and create wealth.
