Time Bank as a Complementary Economic System: Emerging Research and Opportunities

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

One important way to study world around us in all its complexity is to look at it as a system, thus the methodologies of systems thinking should prove to be a logical approach to a systemic analysis. The wider system of the space around humans is composed of interacting sub-systems which in turn are composed of other sub-systems. Some systems have predictable causality and can be decomposed, analyzed and predicted quite easily. Some include unpredictable elements such as human beings. The study of these so-called “soft systems” ranks among the most difficult tasks for systems engineering, as soft systems are ever-changing, thus unpredictable and hard to quantify and qualify by experiment. This book focuses on a systemic study of one such soft system called the Time Bank. The Time Bank is an exchange concept based on a single economic template, yet has countless uses in various fields of human activity. The aim of this book is to show this universality by research, systems analysis and synthesis as well as various other methods. Although researches have been conducted in the field of Time Banking before, this book attempts to be unique in its scope, methodology and overall approach, and thus seeks to offer a much more complete systemic overview of the issue than any previous researches.
