Creative Financial Literacies: Speaking a Local Dialect
with Mary-Beth Raddon
Thu, Dec 20, 2012
Impelled by consumer credit crises, many governments are introducing market-focused financial literacy programs. But what kinds of literacies are most needed for a sustainable, convivial economy? This talk illustrates how barter and sharing create new literacies for security and prosperity, and examines the challenge of combining different kinds of economic knowledge.
