RE: WHAT ABOUT MUH ROADS? Who will build the roads?
Early Americans all took part in the barter system. Even now there are some barter associations but I don't hear much about them.
Too many students are getting degrees in social sciences and don't know the top end of a shovel. Volunteerism is good for the spirit, but usually lousy dividends.
Many tribes functioned with a gift economy or a reputation economy, bartering was mostly done between tribes. I would love to see this kind of culture re-emerge along side other modes of interaction. The more experimentation the better.
