Not a barter economy as an "Economic System" but I do STRONGLY support barter between individuals, including "labor swaps"...Certainly money and power can corrupt
But get rid of fiat money - so, return to a barter economy?
Our $$ used to be backed by gold and silver, printed right on the paper, " Redeemable to the bearer on demand"
IOW, "real money" is backed by a tangible and rather finite commodity...
The Federal Reserve, which was given a "Charter' to control our nation's monetary supply is a private bank. It's no more "Federal" than any random thing we could name....
