Overview
The Community Exchange System (CES) is a community-based exchange system that provides the means for its users to exchange their goods and services, both locally and remotely. It could also be described as a global complementary trading network that operates without money as it is commonly understood.
Unlike the conventional money-based exchange system, the CES has no physical currency. The idea that such a currency is required before any trading can take place is an ancient one and increasingly irrelevant in this day and age of computers and the Internet. Information can replace currencies and at the same time eliminate most of the problems associated with regular money.
The Midlands Community Exchange is part of the network currently consists of 750 more or less active communities in 70 countries and the software has so far been translated into 22 languages.
Join the Community Exchange System and start getting off the 'money grid'.
