∙ 12y agoBarter System is a very outdated and probably obsolete way of transfer or exchange of goods and services. For ex: If I am a rice farmer and you are a wheat farmer, we may want to exchange with one another so that, we both can eat both those grains. I will give you 10 bags of rice and in return you will give me 10 bags of wheat. This way, we both have exchanged our items have successfully completed a barter trade.
Drawbacks of the Barter System:
There are two big drawbacks of the barter system. They are:
1. Do you have what I want?
Taking the same example as in the above paragraph, I exchanged my rice with you because you had Wheat and I wanted it. In case you had Soy Beans and if I am not such a big fan of Soy, I wouldn't get into the trade with you. Finding someone who has something you want and is willing to exchange it for what you have is the biggest problem.
2. What is the common measure of value?
The item I have may be more valuable than yours. I may have Gold and you may have Copper. How will we measure the value? Using money is much simpler, right?
