Local Exchange Trading Systems (Alternative Currency)

You can trade freely, you don't have to earn before you spend! These are alternative ways to exchange services and goods, that are pro-community, socially responsible, based on co-operation and rebuilding community links with great success. They do not have a competitve or corporate element as does the usual currency we utilise like dollars and pounds which operate from the idea of scarcity and not having enough. Most of us are ignorant of the way mainstream money works, our dependence on banks issuing money, certainly slightly les than democratic.
