Let's discuss and share your thoughts on economic systems.
Let's challenge our current system and create some new ones!
How do we transition from trade to a value based system, and get business's involved?
I am interested in your thoughts on how to get started with creating a local economy when a lot of the “locals” support the current system. I live in a small village 2hrs south of Auckland (just south west of Hamilton more accurately), we have just under 2 acres. We planted the block out 7 or so years ago with fruit and nut trees and have just returned to live there in January.

If I understand it correctly bartering is ok by IRD unless it is your profession, eg a painter must declare a painting job barter but not a vege barter. Will they care about Roooobys not unless we make an impact.
You can bring your lemons and persimons to the ooooby stall and get roooobys for them, The persimons sound great.
And eggs, but I need instructions of how to do it, and by the way, how it works with Inland Revenue.
I believe that Inland Revenue will try to hammer us, so we need to prove that we are not doing this to avoid paying taxes, what I am more than happy to pay.

You can pay me in Rooobys, I give handwork for your garden!!!
Also I will sell you lemons and persimons.
