Local currencies for purposive degrowth? A quality check of some proposals for changing money-as-usual (2013, background): “An exception may be the claim that time banking is a community-building tool, which does at least enjoy the support of two peer-reviewed case studies of person-to-person time banks, one in London (Seyfang, 2003) and another in Glasgow (Seyfang, 2004).”
Diverse economies and alternative spaces: An overview of approaches and practices (2016, background): “…exchange inherent in AENs builds a community (Schroeder et al., 2011), which could result in a reconsideration of social values on a collective basis (Seyfang, 2003) and enhances the cooperation and solidarity that are significant pillars of the solidarity economy (Moulaert and Ailenei, 2005).”

Common cents: situating money in time and place (2005, background): “…cheques, LETS and other community currencies, merchant and bank notes, electronic currencies, and even stamps (see, for example, Altman 1991; Booker 1994; Gilbert 1998a, 1998b; Hewitt 1995a; Hoey 1988; Judovitz 1993; Lee 1996; Seyfang 2003; Leyshon and Thrift 1997; Rotstein and Duncan 1991).”
Future green economies and regional development: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “…example of initiatives for degrowth societies (Whitehead, 2013), other examples exist such as localized currencies (Longhurst, 2015; North, 2014; Seyfang, 2003), voluntary simplicity (Alexander, 2013), diverse economies (Gibson-Graham, 2008; Roelvink, St Martin, & Gibson-Graham, 2015),…”
