The barter system, too came to be known long time before the introduction of money. As you can see, one
man could not make or produce all the things he needed. He could make or produce only a few things. He
had, therefore, been bartering his goods or services with the goods or services of others. One man had making,
say, tools while another man had been growing food. The former had tools in excess while latter had food in
excess. Both had been looking for somebody who could lift their excess. In this case, the gentleman who had
been making tools was in need of food and the one who had been growing food was in need of tools.
