  The paper aims to find a new approach to include interesting phenomena of time banking (a system of time complementary currency) into the current economy. The time banks have been in existence for almost three decades for now, but their existence is often powered only by good will of enthusiasts and they suffer from the lack of real institutional support. During their existence the time banks proven to be not only very valuable support to local economies, but as well to social development of a society where they are implemented. Basic problem appears to be created by reluctance of national economies to accept time banking concept as viable support to social system or include it directly. It probably looks to be too utopistic and suspiciously not profit-based to be understood by rigid monetary-based economies.

=====Institutional entrepreneurship and permaculture: A practice theory perspective=====
[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bse.2708 by Audley Genus 5/1/21 WILEY. Online Library]
Permaculture is a growing but little researched phenomenon emphasising care for the environment, equity, fair treatment of people and working with—and not against—nature. It thus represents a potential alternative to business as usual, capable of addressing fundamental challenges posed by human-made climate change. The paper examines a previously ignored site of entrepreneurship by taking a practice perspective, exploring connections between the practice and growth of permaculture and institutional entrepreneurship. It assesses practice-related and institutional factors affecting the start-up and operation of permaculture enterprises in the United Kingdom. The study maps and surveys UK Permaculture Association members who have started up their own business and reports on qualitative data from personal interviews with twenty of them.
