Placeholder to Place-maker: Alternative & Complementary Currencies 201 The Anti-Fragile Playbook

- Non-Profit
Money isn't always the answer - at least not as it's normally recognized (hard capital).
However, full-spectrum capital plays a central role in the Anti-Fragile Wealth Production Engine, which acknowledges and quantifies other forms of capital necessary for community revival.
The discussion opens with a story about how Ed Daniel's investment in attention capital helped a locally-focused advocacy effort rapidly blossom.
Eddie Daniels, a bus operator for a West Virginia school district, proposed the county implement a “Farm to School” program that help to ensure no children go hungry. says Ed:
“As I drive the school bus, one of the things I’m seeing at the stops is grandparents,” Daniels said. “They are on a fixed income and may not have the money to feed these kids, so I am trying to implement a program with the Food and Farm Coalition called ‘Farm to School.’ We are going to invite farmers in the area, and the (agriculture) programs in the schools, to grow some food for your students here in Randolph County.”
In this example and others, Ruth Glendinning and Kent Dahlgren discuss how an investment of attention capital inspires the creation of relationships which magnifies the value of the time invested, building trust, and unlocking normally-overlooked pockets of wisdom, which flowers as a benefit that cannot be purchased with cash.
In this episode, building upon that which was discussed in the prior "Placeholder to Place-maker" podcast episode on alternative and complementary currencies, Ruth and Kent talk about how an investment in five forms of soft capital accelerate a community advocate's return on investment:
Attention capital
Relationship capital
Time capital
Trust capital ("hard to earn, easy to lose, and impossible to buy")
Wisdom capital
These discussions lay the foundation for upcoming topics on how the Anti-Fragile Wealth Production Engine, built upon the Community Activation App by 214 Alpha, encourage those who are naturally-generous to help bootstrap a hyper-local economy.
This same hyper-local economy, in turn, soon delivers a self-funded economic revival, using money which normally remains "under the table," and leaves in its wake a self-governing community, using leadership which was sourced and activated from within the community itself.
