A discussion of racism and its manifestations in so-called liberal communities, and the way that white progressives oftentimes overlook issues of race and white privilege, and thereby torpedo their own efforts for social justice...

Are Progressive Cities Worse For Racial Justice

There was a time when gold money had real value.  Yet now it floats free, a fantasy made real by our belief. Are there alternative fantasies that we could create to generate different and perhaps better realities?  Or is there something special about the fantasy of money that makes it irreplaceable?

Guardian columnist Stephen Hewlitt asks CEO of Timebanking UK Sarah Bird, reporter for the Financial Times Izabella Kaminska and The Social Life of Money author Nigel Dodd to explore the alternatives to money.

From the NPR website:  In preparation for a 2011 conference on Brown University on juvenile justice reform, "Tell Me More" host Michel Martin speaks with Time Banks USA founder Edgar S. Cahn about how the TimeBanking concept reminds us that some things in life are more valuable than money.  The technique has successfully been used to reduce recidivism rates among juvenile offenders by 60% in diversionary Youth Courts in the District of Columbia.  Photo by Amy Ta.
