Abstract

This paper presents a reflection on monetary federalism from the history of the Argentinian complementary currencies (trueque). The first national trueque system (RGT, 1995-2000) is analyzed as a form of monetary federalism. It is characterized by the decentralization of money-issuing and the uniqueness of the unit of account. This model has been challenged by two systems based on the centralization of money-issuing (RGT, 2001-2002 and RTZO, 2000-2002). The crisis that threatened the trueque in 2002 reveals ethical and political implications of the question of money-issuing.
