 | | This Web page describes the Barataria Exchange Project, dedicated to developing local exchange trading systems in four European localities.These systems organize small- and medium-sized businesses, public institutions and socially oriented third-system enterprises into local trade networks based on bartering, or local "money". |
 | | The BARATARIA EXCHANGE PROJECT is just that: an attempt to put into practice alternative local exchange systems and this Web page is about this attempt, its successes, its failures and its potential for growth. |
 | | Our project, launched in 1998 under the auspices of the DGV of the European Commission, is being developed in four European contexts; rural Scotland, County Mayo, Ireland, and the cities of Amsterdam and Madrid. |
