Alternative Economies
Made in
conversation with herbalist Rasheeqa Ahmad and financial services regulator
Rachel Bardiger, Alternative Economies reads
the imperialist exploits of the Disney character Scrooge McDuck adjacent to the
apparently radical yet deeply compromised promises of cryptocurrency. Between
these two strands, possibilities for an alternative network of exchange and
subsistence are sought.
