The Trueque phenomenon is one of the most interesting responses between the different social answers to the Argentinean crisis, because it presents many characteristics and instances typical of the other phenomena in an original synthesis. It arises in the declines middle class with the purpose of confronting the jobs and money deficiency through a self- organized collective action independent of any institution. It grows in an exponential way involving all social classes and ensuring the survival (during the most critical eight months) of seven million people. It is a phenomenon that defends the right to work and the survival in a pacific and resourceful way, without asking for the state intervention but structuring an economical system complementary to the capitalism system. It promotes and fortifies the «work culture», practically non-existent between belongings to the structural poverty that are in the habit of living of the «peronist asistencialismo»; it contributes t reconstruct confidence ties between people isolated by capitalist individualism.

Palavras-chave : Informal economy; social economy; social money; Argentinean movements of self organization.
