This “frees” people and things\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003efrom traditional social ties and makes them free to “sell” their work and trade goods on markets that\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eincreasingly erode national borders. Modern money thus frees the individual from traditional social\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eties and facilitates the creation of ever larger and more inter-connected markets. Sardex money, on\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ethe other hand, seems to work in the opposite direction: the weak social ties of ordinary economic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003etransactions are replaced by strong ones, characterised by a high level of reciprocity and by an ethical code. Furthermore the movementof goods is restricted to the regional level and much is\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003edone to promote economic exchanges between member companies.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer VS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-05-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783658285326\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-658-28533-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x168cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 189\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44807034339468,"sku":"9783658285326","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658285326.jpg?v=1776524251","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783658285326","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
