Mercedes Bidart is cofounder of Quipu Market, a company which takes the idea of a community currency and marketplace and updates it for our age. Quipu market allows marginalised micro-businesses to buy and sell within their communities through a digital marketplace and using a digital community currency. The aim is to build and maintain wealth locally.

In this episode, I speak with Mercedes about the intensive co-design process behind Quipu, the challenges of launching in a pandemic, and the importance of creating solidarity economies.
