<p>I've just heard about "really REALLY free markets" (RRFM) where people come together to celebrate one another. They bring talents or usable things to a public place and give things away and freely share talents. Talents may be things like bicycle repair, car repair, music lessons or music, massage, puppetteering, storytelling,or any other talent.

<p>I've just heard about "really REALLY free markets" (RRFM) where people come together to celebrate one another. They bring talents or usable things to a public place and give things away and freely share talents. Talents may be things like bicycle repair, car repair, music lessons or music, massage, puppetteering, storytelling,or any other talent. People usually bring food to share with all (including the homeless. In my area, it is unlawful to feed a homeless person and breaking that law comes with jail time.) The day is spent absent any money. It's a good way to bring people together and remind us of the immportance of the individual. Ideally, these free markets are held on a regular basis.</p>

<p>Many who are part of RRFM are also talking about guerilla gardening - where vacant lots and abandoned properties are used to grow food which is then available for all.</p>
<p>these are both meant to be ways to withdraw power from money. It's a very real way for those who support the occupy movement to begin living the life they want to see appear.</p> This other discussion on this…tag:www.occupycafe.org,2011-11-23:6451976:Comment:131192011-11-23T22:24:01.933ZDavid Eggletonhttp://www.occupycafe.org/profile/DavidEggleton

<p>I would like to find models for smallest-possible subsistence economies in various bioregions. Can twenty people form a network of give and take that meets all fundamental needs? Thirty-five?</p>
<p>Helen and Scott Nearing did it themselves, in New England of all places.

<p>I believe you are describing the economy of the future, David. What we can do to begin moving more intentionally towards that framework is of interest to me. Thomas Greco's work is foundational for this to emerge.</p>
