Edgar Cahn

Edgar Cahn was a legal scholar and social innovator best known for founding the Time Banking movement. He believed that everyone's time has equal value and developed a system where people exchange services based on time rather than money. This approach fosters community cooperation and mutual support, especially for those in need. Cahn's work aimed to rebuild social trust, empower individuals, and create more inclusive communities by valuing everyone's contribution equally. His ideas have influenced community development, alternative economies, and social services worldwide.
