-after Recessions > Panic of 1835 decides to implement labor exchange system

-"National Equitable Labour Bazaar" established in London where independent workers can sell their produce for labor notes which can be exchanged for other goods

-with Bank promissory notes having crashed and gold having been hoarded, labor notes become an important holder of credit

-despite a lot of trenchant criticism from goldbug radicals it does become fairly influential

-Labour Bazaars become established in several other British cities

-however, as United Bank slowly buys up gold it's able to print more notes and put them into flow
