Mi vida sin dinero

Synopsis of Mi vida sin dinero

«Mi vida sin dinero» is the testimony of Heidemarie Schwermer, published by Gedisa in 2002 in paperback (254 pages, in Spanish).

Chronicle of Heidemarie Schwermer's radical turn in 1996: she gave away her furniture, left her house and her practice, and cancelled her insurance to live without money. Since then she stays in the homes of people who travel and obtains what she needs through barter. She founded an exchange center in Dortmund and proposes rethinking values and alternative forms of coexistence.

The text comes from German, with original title Das Sterntaler experiment, and the translation is by Illana Giner Comín. The work belongs to the Testimonios collection from Gedisa.

For readers of biographies and true stories and for those seeking reflections on the economy, barter and alternative ways of life.
