Re: Edwin Riegel
Tue, January 18, 2005 - 2:34 PMInteresting crankery. He starts off with the common "debt money is not real money" and "inflation will destroy the world" crankery, but then instead of saying "money is a commodity and should be backed by gold" he takes a strange turn, says "money is a unit of account" and invents LETS.
It's the only defense of LETS I've ever read. And it's as incoherent and self-contradictory as any defense of LETS would have to be.
Well, you know what I think of LETS. But it's reassuring to see that when someone actually tries to explain how LETS is supposed to work that they can't do it.

Sat, September 30, 2006 - 2:10 AMCrankery? I beg to differ. Go and check out www.bartercard.com They are running Stage1 of a Valun system since some 15 years, and they seem pretty succesful.... -

Re: Edwin Riegel
Sat, September 30, 2006 - 11:38 PMI was curious what bartercard was, and what a valun system is. In the process, I came across this:
www.barter-blog.com/
Not sure how their main operation is doing, but Bartercard USA declared bankruptcy earlier this year.
Can anyone suggest a concise, well-written, down-to-earth description of a valun system? A lot of what I'm finding is unduly long and self-important. :(
I thought some of the writing here was pretty good:

The writing here was, uh, less so:
www.wealth4freedom.com/money/...h10.htm
Thanks.
