The Economy of Community

When I talk about income redistribution, I'm not talking about national level, wellfaresque policies, I'm talking about what I call The Economy of Community. I'm talking about people who take each others' material needs seriously and work to meet them.

Check out Relational Tithe - each person in this group has committed to giving 10% of their income to meet the needs of others. This is what I'm talking about.

Or partners in The Simple Way's Potter Street Community - these closely knit people share deeply in terms of finances, even taking on each others' financial debts.

There are hundreds of other examples of this Economy of Community. And this is what I want to explore.
