Its bars mounted to exchange goods and services regardless of what may Inem offer that limps under the weight of its bureaucracy. They will collect cardboard, recycling what others throw away, working in the privacy of their homes (women, for example, work clothing), picking crops and engaged in masonry, of course without papers and without VAT medio.Saldrán distributing and selling below what it takes and what passes through their hands. Those expelled from the formal economy, are no longer unemployed have no alternative. Therefore it is mounted on its own with decency and dignity. It is a matter of survival. They are the heroes of this and all economic downturns. The most clever, consistent and better, often immigrants.
