The Community Exchange System CES is an initiative of the South African New Economics Network SANE (see address below).
Caught in the money trap? Break free by joining the Community Exchange System: Conventional money is created as debt by private financial institutions for their own profit-making purposes, not as a social service. This is the root cause of the economic, social and environmental problems that beset us. The amount of debt determines the quantity of money, which has nothing to do with the amount of money we need to live decent lives. CES ‘money’ is created by its users so it can never be in short supply. So long as you can offer something of value you can have from the community goods and services of like value. Join the growing community who have discovered a new way of ‘doing’ money, a healthy money that will create a healthy society, (CES Homepage).
The SANE Community Exchange System (CES) is a community-based, global trading network using a money other than our familiar national ones — an alternative, parallel, local, community or complementary currency system. In short, the CES is a new money system … (what is the CES /about 1/2).
