Barter has never been how economies were organized, except under duress like a prison camp. If you are interested in the topic I suggest David Graeber’s Debt: The First 5000 Years. The takeaway- relationships and reputation among groups of people who know each other have organized economies far longer than money has. IMHO social media should allow us to act like a global village, and villages don’t need money to coordinate.
