The New Yorker writer, Nana Asfour, uncovered
a great story of bartering last week.
OurGoods offers evening classes for adults on a wide array of topics - including economics and business, canning and preserving foods, grant-writing, history, and many more. The enthusiastic teachers are compensated by students in services of some kind. The students can barter anything they wish, like filing receipts, running errands, or offering some other skill or handmade good as long as the teacher agrees to accept it.
