Abstract

At the height of the Great Depression, a group of unemployed
Oakland workers decided to take matters into their own hands.
The system wasn’t working, so they set up their own system.
Money was nearly worthless, so they decided to live by barter.
They called themselves the Unemployed Exchange Association
and they soon went on to write a remarkable chapter in American
economic history. This is their story.
