From Thomas H. Greco, Jr., Worldwide leading authority on free-market approaches to monetary innovation and cashless trading systems. Author of numerous books on alternative currencies, including the most recent, "The End of Money and the Future of Civilization."

"IRTA is the premier members' association for both the commercial barter industry and the emergent alternative exchange movement. IRTA has led the way in providing support to the industry and in establishing high standards of practice.  I am confident that the association will continue to build upon its past achievements by providing the leadership needed to move cashless trading to a new level of both volume and effectiveness."
