The barter system was introduced as a means of facilitating trade before the invention of money. It allowed individuals to exchange goods and services directly, based on mutual needs and wants. This system addressed the limitations of self-sufficiency, enabling people to obtain items they lacked by trading surplus goods. However, it eventually proved inefficient due to challenges like the need for a double coincidence of wants, leading to the development of currency.
