<<When this changes and the financial system falls apart>> Then if barter is proof of the system being broken & gold the cure, or a stop gap measure at least, I humbly submit: * please review geog.le.ac.uk * In the last 3 years companies have declared bartered tit-for-tat cyber advertising revenue as "earnings". These "monies" were declared to shareholders & the public as earnings when little or no bidding process had taken place and the "prices" and no currency (capable of any other uses) changed hands. Yes, advertising dollars that are not dollars never were dollars & can be used for no other purpose other than advertising. * examples: A cyber currency used for barter the "nella". wired.com gvb.org often large, down under abc.net.au * As of August 98 F.T. reported 60% of the total Russian economy was barter berkana.org * "the world's oldest-and, some would say, most basic-way of doing business.
