money and power. Most people would have to be producers of goods
instead of just being consumers as has happened inthe past. Life wouldn't be as complicated as it is
today in terms of money.

Charm to the WorldAhsan

1. Matrix Problem, leading to high cost of transaction
The barter system essentially needs a matrix where you
have to maintain exchange rate for each pair ofproducts. Now, think what will happen if we extendthis to one thousand products?
2. Multiple grades.
Most commodities have multiple grades (tomatoes canbe rotten, ripe, or green, and can be sourced frommultiple origins, can be organic etc). Signing eachcommodity with the particular grade is very expensive.
3. Verification of authenticity. Currency issuingauthorities have made it relatively easy to detectcounterfeit currency. But, imagine you are exchangingmilk for tomatoes. How do you know that the tomatoesall belong to quality x and the counterparty knows that
the milk is not alternated?Mohsin

A lot of times, you don't want to
exchange a product for another product.You just want a promise to exchange forthe product at a future time.
