(event) Austin Time Exchange Orientation Start: Mar 29 2008 4:00 pm End: Mar 29 2008 4:30 pm The Austin Time Exchange Network (ATEN) is a local program that enables individuals to provide and receive skills and services within a network of people and organizations in Greater Austin. Similar to concepts expressed in bartering and alternative currency systems, this grassroots initiative lets members exchange labor and assistance without using the U.S. Dollar. Launched in April of 2006, ATEN currently has over 60 members and invites new participants to join by attending any of our upcoming introduction meetings. (event) Mutualism Study Group Start: Mar 29 2008 5:00 pm End: Mar 29 2008 6:00 pm Mutualism is a school of thought that calls for decentralizing economic and political power through building cooperatives and community financing systems. It is a radical theory that opposes corporate and state power, and instead promotes an economy of small farms, independent business, cooperatives, and self-employed workers. This group will meet monthly to discuss mutualist theory and practice, study relevant books and articles, and work towards building up "mutualist infrastructure" in Austin. The first meeting will be introductory, and for April we'll start discussing some of the work of the contemporary mutualist scholar Kevin Carson (www.mutualist.org)
