One Red Paperclip
Can one red paperclip turn into a house? It can if someone arranges a series of mutually beneficial exchanges of goods and/or services. That’s the idea behind Kyle MacDonald’s project, One Red Paperclip. After eight trades he turned one red paperclip into an all-inclusive three-day trip to Yahk, British Columbia, Canada. I don’t know if Kyle is a libertarian and that doesn’t really matter.
