instalacija, 2018.
Ideja obrazovnog projekta „Biblioteka društvene ekonomske teorije“ zasniva se na promociji alternativnih ekonomskih modela koji nadilaze neoliberalni ekonomski sistem. Područje interesovanja je proučavanje ekonomskih teorija koje nude potencijalne mogućnosti za razvoj i uspostavljanje ekonomske razmene koja se ne baziraju na principima pojedinačnih profita subjekata, već se upravljaju interesom zajednice u celini. Alternativne teorije ekonomije koje projekat pokriva za ovu priliku su: 1 PARECON – Participativna ekonomija (Michael Albert, Chris Spannos) – ekonomska teorija koja se zasniva na ideji zajedničkog odlučivanja prema nivou uticaja koji subjekt ima na nešto, odnosno modelu samoupravljanja radom organizacije zasnovanom na zajedničkom radu proizvođača i potrošača i jednakoj distribuciji dobara; 2 Inkluzivna demokratija (Anthoni Giddens, Jon Elster, Takis Fotopoulos, Aran Gare itd.) – oblik direktne demokratije koji podrazumeva model političkog i ekonomskog odlučivanja koji je otvoreniji za građansko učešće (minimalističko i maksimalističko demokratsko učešće); 3 Teorija poklona (Marcel Mauss) – ideja o poklonu kao osnovu razmene – entitet koji nešto daje od sebe kao subjekta koji sam uspostavlja neku prazninu, ali taj jaz nastavlja da kruži u kolektivu (za razliku od kapitalističkih društava u kojima ova praznina uvek ostaje kod subjekta) – ideja dara kao načina širenja sebstva na celu zajednicu; 4 Ekonomija brige (Nansi Folbe) – Rad na brizi – uloga brige jednih o drugima kao oblika ekonomske razmene („feministička“ ekonomija); 5 Vremensko bankarstvo (Edgar Cahn) – ekonomija zasnovana na razmeni vremena i veština, umesto na robi i uslugama.
Instalacija egzistira kao otvorena biblioteka.

AN ECONOMIC MODEL OF INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY
(Takis Fotopoulos, Arran Gare)
-direct democracy-without a state
-economic democracy – a shareholding system

-ecological democracy
inclusive democracy – association of society with economy and nature (reintegration)
demos – the only representative value (no representation)

at micro level – voucher and stock system,
at macro level – collective social body
no money but vouchers

Capacity building: maternity protection, work and family, co-op., elimination of child labour, nursing, long term care, better data on care work, early childhood education…
step 3 – to make care for the other become principle of work as such (universal bond)
care – redistributed values, reduces gender equality ect.

TIMEBANKING
(Edgar Cahn)
-an alternative monetary system that bases its value on units of time (the value of one hour of labor) rather than on commodities or other items of value such as cash

-members earning „time dollars“ by providing or using services
-treat the talents as a commodity
-focus on community outreach
care of the elderly, business development help and home repair etc.- types of work which does not have a true monetary value (time banking is not like a local currency) – used to increase the growth
exchange of goods and services. – > exchange of time and skills
