How would a prestige based economy work?

1 Answer

Answer :

You contribute to the common good, you get credits. You may then spend said credits toward someone else’s contribution to you. Change depends on everyone, but you can start with small barter-like groups. I was actually thinking of making a barter-based chore-sharing website, and then eventually escalate it to a barter tracking system.
