In English.
During the 1930's Depression, one man in Compton, California began the Unemployed Co-operative Relief Council of California, to exchange his labor for farm produce in order to feed his family. The council spread throughout California and was non-religious, non-profit, and non-competitive with established business or paid labor. It collected no dues and paid no salaries, and the only requirement for membership was need, and was based on barter.
