Abstract

Cet article s’intéresse à un cas concret de système monétaire local, celui des « clubs de troc » développés en Argentine à partir de 1995. Contrairement à ce que leur nom laisse penser, les « clubs de troc » désignent des espaces marchands communautaires, à l’intérieur desquels les transactions économiques sont réglées en credito, monnaie-papier interne et non convertible avec la monnaie officielle. La question que pose ce type d’expérience monétaire parallèle est de savoir pourquoi et sous quelles conditions cette monnaie privée non convertible avec la monnaie officielle parvient à être acceptée. Est-ce que ce micro-système monétaire peut fonctionner de manière indépendante et cloisonnée, ou bien a-t-il besoin de nouer des rapports avec le macro-système monétaire officiel ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles cet article se propose de répondre.
