Welcome to FreeWorldMarket.com, the free market solution to the economic crisis.

Free World Market is a barter group for small business that uses a silver currency as part of a national campaign to shop local. More and more Americans are aware of the dangers of becoming dependent on big box corporate chains, and many businesses and consumers have joined to promote shopping locally. We’ve taken the best aspects of barter groups and competing currencies to not only encourage local sourcing and purchasing, but to provide the means and incentive necessary to do so on a large scale.

Some people admirably choose to shop locally because they understand the value of doing so, but an incentive is lacking for many people when it is easier and cheaper to shop at big box stores. Most people need a more immediate and personal benefit to motivate them to patronize local businesses. Free World Market accomplishes that by utilizing local currencies based on the American Open Currency Standard (AOCS).

Like many other community currencies, AOCS silver tokens can be bought at a discount to encourage people to spend them at the local businesses that accept them. The local businesses can then use these tokens to barter with other businesses in the FreeWorldMarket barter network.
