Question
Chapter 14, Problem 20AA
To determine
To ascertain:The costs and benefits of using the barter or money system.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Costs | Benefits | |
Barter | The problem is measuring the values that arise. For example, if a person wants 1 cow against 2 goats. But another person wants 5 goats against one cow. Thus, the problem of measuring the commodity arises. | There are no issues in the barter system about export and import trading, such as the recession in foreign exchange and adverse balance of payments. |
Money | The issue with money is that its value does not remain constant which creates economic instability. Too much money is cutting its value and causing inflation. | Money's principal advantage over barter is that money will still be available. Frequently, barter is not necessary. This is due to the need for what is termed a coincidence of wanting sometimes called a double coincidence of wanting. |
