Fair Exchange

Instead of having money why don't we all just give each other stuff for free? You know, like if you need a couple of tomatoes I would give you them and you could give me a medium sized turnip in exchange. That sort of thing.

Actually I need my tomatoes for tomorrows sandwiches but I have got half a cucumber if that's acceptable? And I prefer swede to turnip please.

It's not a perfect system yet. There are a few things to iron out.

  1. If things don't go well in this world we may be back to the barter system because money won't be worth anything.

  3. I welcome that day, John. When I next come down there I will bring a load of stuff and you can pick through it. Save me that half a cucumber. ccc

  4. I think the world has been there and done that but it might be interesting to give another go.
