Labor exchanges help create eutopia, and De Bernardi established some such exchanges. At such exchanges the unemployed could deposit surplus goods and get certificates of deposit or \“labor checks\” which could be used to purchase goods or services. On these exchanges, see H. Roger Grant, \“Portrait of a Workers\’ Utopia: The Labor Exchange and the Freedom, Kansas, Community.\”\ Kansas\ Historical Quarterly\ 43.1 (1977): 56-66; and Grant, \“Utopia Without Colony: The Labor Exchange Movement.\”\ Communal Societies\ 1 (Autumn 1981): 43-54. See also 1897 De Bernardi and his\ The Equitable Industrial Association of America. A Beneficent Co-operative Association for the Employment of Idle Labor Through Mutual Exchange. Sedalia, MO: J.C. Parmerlee, 1888 (NN).
