This paper described and
evaluates a peer to peer mutual credit system now in operation in the
State of Vermont. It is called the VBSR Marketplace and is an innovative
partnership between a statewide membership association, Vermont
Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) and a currency design and
management organization, Vermont Sustainable Exchange (VSE). This
project is a significant step forward in the community currency world as
it makes participation in a mutual credit system a membership benefit
for businesses that belong to an already existing and well-established
business association.
