In this series, I assume the role of a reader instead of a writer, discussing articles by other writers... things I recommend.
We start with the history of money. @dave_gutteridge has written an excellent essay, where he questions the generally believed theory, that the origin of money was barter. He writes:
“The only trouble is that this story is completely untrue. According to anthropologists, there is literally no record in history of any society starting with a barter system and then transitioning to a currency system. The whole concept of currency solving the problems of bartering is a complete myth. It only gets passed around as fact because it seems so intuitively believable.
And he continues:
“I believed it when I first heard it. But, let this really sink in, it never happened. Or, at least, there is absolutely no evidence it ever happened, and plenty of evidence for other systems of commerce before currency.“
