Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating look into the fascinating economic history of barter systems in the realm of business. In discussing the many iterations of barter from its simplest form to modern iterations, the author argues the continued relevance of the barter system in an increasingly capitalist society. The author maintains that barter may, in fact, be a superior transaction mode to traditional money-based exchange in several circumstances, especially when companies look to exchange goods or services that are difficult or even impossible to value monetarily. This idea is particularly important in the modern business context, as the exchange of information and knowledge has become much more common. These exchanges are notoriously difficult to value, and the author posits that barter is a more effective exchange mode for these types of goods and services.
