INDEP online Talk – the IDA presents their Labor Time Accounting App

When a few council communists in the 1920s imagined how a communist economy could work, they imagined a moneyless economy using labour time as its unit of exchange, with a corresponding bookkeeping system. 100 years later, we can implement this system digitally with databases and the Web.

The goal is still the same: a society based on self-management, overcoming exploitation and oppression.

Members of IDA (Initiative Demokratische Arbeitszeitrechnung/Initiative Democratic Labour Time Accounting) will briefly introduce the concept of a labour time economy before presenting their current projects: a Web app (Arbeitszeitapp), intended for networks of cooperatives that want to create a shared economy today, as well as a project to simulate a full-scaled labour time economy for tomorrow.

The event will be held in English.
