Economics, Finances

Intrinsic Economy (Oikonomia)
The internal economy of Eudea can be value and inspiration-based; utilizing a network of gift economies, trading systems, national currency, voluntary agreements and emergent arrangements. The internal economy is unified with the community's participation agreements and ethical visions.

Extrinsic Economy (Chrematistike)
The trade between Eudea and external economies (national, digital and other value systems), can be based on a number of factors, and can be categorized according to what we give (export) and what we receive (import).

Budgeting

"Campaigns with videos will raise 114% more money than those without. Additionally, users who update campaign pages every five days or less raise significantly more money than if they update every 20 days or more. Lastly, if a campaign has four or more people on its team, it will raise 70% more money than a crew of one." -[]
