This is true of barter trading. Barter trading is the exchange of a good or service for another good or service that the buyer wants. For example, a chicken for a hair cut.

- Yes indeed. In a barter economy, transaction costs are high and people don't have a variety of goods to choose from when buying. For example, you might want a to buy a maize mill to process Corn as well as other things but all you have is a cow. The Corn Mill seller may not want a cow so you can't buy the Mill. If you had money from selling the cow though you could easily but the Mill and improve your life.
