FERNANDEZ MAYO, Manuela. El trueque solidario: una estrategia de superviviencia ante la crisis argentina de 2001. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.7, pp.5-29. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2009.7.182.

The article we present analyzes through oral testimonies the phenomenon of solidary bartering, a social contention mechanism of massive application. Together with the social plans, the two share their character of innovation in the face of the crisis and its broad reach. Bartering is presented as an exceptionally widespread activity emerged from civil society. Although now in decline, during the period of sharpest crisis —in the year 2002— it united more than seven million people across the full length of Argentinean territory.

Keywords : Solidary bartering; social contention; civil society.
