Can you imagine a world without money? If you can’t, visiting the site will show you how something like that would work out in practice. The basis of the whole system is that of untapping the power of collective cooperation and letting people exchange services either for other services or for goods.
The idea is to make possible cooperation not only between people who are situated nearby, but also between people who are located half the world away.
People can post their skills on the site and these are grouped under categories like “Health care”, “Child care” and “Tutoring”. And the most recent favors are listed on the main page so that you can see if someone needs a hand you can lend.
The basic idea, then, is employing the inherent power that the Internet has for bringing people together (a power that has been cubed ever since services like Facebook and Twitter came into the picture) to create a money-free system of exchange. Of course, that might seem excessively idealistic, a little naïve, or both. But I feel it is a laudable initiative, even when I don’t think it will have the transcendence the team behind it hopes.
Favorpals.com In Their Own Words
“Favorpals provides the space where services can be freely exchanged for other services and/or goods — all without engaging in a traditional monetary transaction.
Craftsmen, artists, laborers, professionals — in fact anyone with skills or goods to trade can swap for the services or items they need with anyone in the Favorpals community. And because of the wide reach of the Web, they can make an exchange with someone around the corner or even a continent away.
We see a Favorpals “swap” as an especially meaningful event when the exchange crosses the divide between people from different walks of life, where both parties benefit equally regardless of class or status.”
