I was just listening to the Dec 9, 2006 Radio Telefís Éireann (RTE -
Ireland's Public Service Broadcaster) programme called Famine Echoes
about the The Great Disaster a.k.a Irish Potato Famine - caused by
mono-cropping, economic inequities, and social injustice. You have to
get through the previous program and advertising, but then the
descriptions of barter systems used in place in Ireland in the 1840's
comes along and it's quite interesting. Might be enlightening for
discussion of current and possible future barter systems.

You can find the programs on-line at
