Life is an inexpensive treasure; you don't have to look hard to find beauty.
Two advantages in the silent barter system was that , it did not expose the location of gold mines and , it was a more peaceful way of trading.
Bartering only works when each party has something that the other wants. For example if I own a printshop and a dog, then I might find a groomer who needs printing (perhaps some forms or business cards, for example). The printshop owner could offer printing some cards for getting the dog groomed. But what happens if it is time for the dog to be groomed again, but the groomer is not ready to order some more cards. The need/want is only on one side of the transaction, so the barter will not happen in this case. There are barter groups or clubs that will assist with finding suitable transactions.

OIL, OIL, More Oil and Natural Gas...
The Iranian economy is heavily dependent on the lucrative oil and gas sector. ... Iran produced 6 million barrels per dayin the monarchy's final years. ... This, however, does not measure the true cost of subsidies. The US has an embargo on Iranian Oil but that doesn't stop other surrounding countries from buying it.. Also; the underground also has pipelines of arms, and weapon trading.
The poor; meaning most of the countries hard working citizens depend on self preservation by selling, food, artwork, and anything they can to survive. Like most countries the rich get richer and poor suffer...

This is one of those cases where the definition of a particular word, in this case "barter", is crucial.
If barter means the direct exchange of goods and services without a medium of exchange, the more common use, then by and large, the invention of money supplemented the barter system by providing a nonperishable medium of exchange. Money provided an effective way to avoid the problem of one party being unable to provide a good or service that the other party wanted.
If barter simply refers to exchanging, while many people think the bartering system ended when money was invented, people can still barter and pay with money. Money gives a nonperishable item to be bartered with.
Well.....it happens when you are stupid and dont get what it means u idiot -__-
an economic system based on exchanging goods rather than paying for them- apex :)
Before the introduced currency, all trades, from buying bread in the market to buying tin in Britain was by barter or with bars of precious metals.
After they introduced coinage, this could pay for goods and services at home or in the trading colonies they established around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
Direct exchange requires that you have something that somebody else wants, and that THAT PERSON have something else that YOU want - and that you both agree that what you have is worth what he has.
A bartering system requires that you have something that somebody else wants, and that somebody else has something that YOU want - and that you can trade one thing for another, even if you need to get three or more people who all swap things. It works pretty well in a small farming community, for example; you have grain from your crops, and you trade your grain for eggs from your neighbor's chickens. Then you can bake a cake and give it to the blacksmith, in exchange for shoeing your horse.
Outside of a small community, barter breaks down; you need something that nobody in town can make or grow. Traveling merchants may provide luxuries like jewelry in exchange for food and lodging, but what if the merchant has just left - or your crops aren't ready to harvest? Every larger society has developed a medium of exchange in which everybody agrees that this object represents a value that can be traded, and to an extent, they all agree on what is worth what. Here in Earth, and in most places, the medium of exchange, the "object of value", is gold and silver. When stamped into disks of standardized size and weight, and marked with the maker's seals, it becomes a "coin", and forms the basis for money. But "money" is only of value for what you can DO with it. You can't eat gold; you can only trade it for something else. It's a marker for keeping score.
Today, the markers for keeping score are bits, ones and zeroes in a computer system.
A subsistence economy, is an economy in which the people barely meet their everyday needs. It is often seen as a major factor for poverty in developing nations. This is because the people of the society do not trade with other groups, this may be for a vary of reasons but a major one being their isolation. If the people of the society do not produce enough food, or not a variety the people will become sick and contract disease. This type of living is poverty.
The people also do not have everyday items that we take for granted, such as ipods, TV's, computers, fashionable clothes and shopping malls. This is because the people do not produce enough surplus to trade with, sometimes not even producing a surplus at all.

A traditional economic system would have to be a system based on the tradition of a particular region. that would imply that virtually every country has an economic system that is traditional.
This is known as bartering.
