Welfare reform in the wake of austerity has fostered increased
interest in self-help initiatives within the community sector.
Amongst these, time banking, one of a number of complementary
currency systems, has received increasing attention from policy
makers as a means for promoting welfare reform. This book is the
first to look at the concept of time within social policy to
examine time banking theory and practice. By drawing on the social
theory of time to examine the tension between time bank values and
those of policy makers, it argues that time banking is a
constructive means of promoting social change but is hindered by
its co-option into neo-liberal thinking. This book will be valuable
for academics/researchers with an interest in community-based
initiatives, the third/voluntary sectors and theoretical analysis
of social policy and political ideologies.
