Barter Economy Barter economy requires a coincidence of wants and therefore is extremely inefficient. What comes out of the difficulties of the barter economy?

MONEY! Because of the Coincidence of Wants – Money is created to make trade easier

How does trade make us wealthier? Trade moves goods to people who value them Trade increases the quantity and variety of goods available Trade lowers the cost of goods Trade creates more winners than losers – Creative Destruction

Not a “zero-sum” Game! There are few “losers” in Economics Trade is truly voluntary (voluntary exchange) Who decides what to buy?
