Tellinger uses the free labour market to grow his idea which is fine but temporary free labour can only work as long as there is people willing to give freely, to make this model work for those who partake in it there needs to be a permanent management and maker platform who also train those who want to help themselves in real life skills, only then is the labour being put to good use for the town/s involved.
In other words there needs to be more makers of things, than organizers, and even then the organizers need to contribute part of their labour to others involving a part in the making of the real commodities otherswise they are what as Michael Hudson classes as unearned income hangers on, who produce nothing but pen to paper.
I do not buy the alternative energy stone circles model purely down to how the conservation of energy model works, while the human energy is giving to the myth/unproven.
Here is North Yorkshire there is a system called LETTS which uses their own money tokens called Cobbles, this is to trade amongst the members who currently use fiat money to deposit in order of gaining the alternative tokens, this is never going to work because those fiats are being taxed beforehand, the way to do things is to trade your skills, trouble is there are not many members who have enough real life skills who are willing to trade them and teach them to others.
My model works perfectly for those who have followed it by retaining their own labour and turning that labour into much needed commodities, and giving away any surplus to those in need for free.
This Tellinger has yet to achieve and is in reality another form of Human Farming without the farm workers recieving anything for their labour while the produce is taken.
These models can only work for the producers on a much smaller scale like a village with most of its makers and users in house so as the create a balance, once you pass a certain number the control mechanism gets much larger and the benefits smaller.
Michael knows this, as many of his helpers have gone walk abouts before completing their tasks.
