Yes, the "community section" appears to be more-or-less a public forum, and what is said there ought not be taken to represent the organization. I think the blogs and the articles come from more regular contributors.

A quick google search revealed that the author egregiously misquoted Krugman. I attempted to correct this error with a follow-up post.

Even so, I think it was very coherent for the author of the community article to examine the effects of fixing the price of one hour of baby-sitting to one scrip. I don't know if all of his conclusions necessarily follow, but the price-fixing is one way in which the baby-sitting economy is distinct from our American-style market economy. This difference could undermine the utility of the analogy.

How would the baby-sitting co-op economy change if the co-op members were permitted to freely bargain and contract with the scrip? How would the general babysitting economy change if Congress passed a law fixing the price of babysitting services at $10 or so dollars per hour across the board?
