The Time Bank is a project to improve coexistence between people through the exchange of their time. It is a system of exchange of services for services or favors for favors and proposes the advantage of fostering social relations and equality between different economic strata. It will be because of the economic crisis or because in an urban society in a hurry and stress, time is a rising value. For one reason or another, more and more Barcelonans have decided to invest in this precious material. Time Banks, entities that arbitrate the free exchange of services for a certain time between people who want to lend a hand and at the same time receive some compensation, are growing. In recent years, ten Time Banks have emerged or been consolidated in different districts of the city, in which more than 2,000 people participate. Time money is a new currency to provide a solution to the massive cuts in public spending on social welfare, but without resorting to state intervention in the economy, but on the contrary, from the freedom of economic action. He argues that conventional "money" is currently not enough to fix all the problems facing societies. The idea then is to create a new kind of money to pay people for what needs to be done, valuing contributions equally and taking advantage of people’s skills, with an hour equivalent to a credit service. The more time credit circulates and the more people share their time and talents with each other the richer the community will become. Care and cooperation become the driving force for social change. Everyone has a chance to be a giver and a recipient and therefore become a productive member of the community.
