Money Soup: A Legal Guide to Bartering, Giving, and Getting Stuff without Dollars

There are things we do for money and things we do for free. And then there is everything in between. In that between space, there is a growing and exciting world of barter, work exchange, gift circles, mutual

aid societies, time banks, local currencies, and other modes of transacting that don’t use regular money.

These transactions form a huge component of the “sharing economy,” the “third economy,” the “sustainable economy,” or whatever you may call this “new economy.”

I thought it would be a fun and important project to sort out the tax, business, and labor law implications of these “in between” transactions.
