How People Create Money Naturally
On the subject of money, thinking deeper into it ignites the realization that it is much more
complicated of a subject than meets the eye. Before our new world money wasn’t what it is
today, little pieces of paper that are technically valueless. So before the more modernized
eras, how did money emerge naturally without a government or any planning involved?
Money existed in many different forms. It derived from the fact that people want things
that they don’t have. For fairer comprehension of comparative descriptions let’s label any
given person “Person A” and any other given person “Person B”. When Person A wanted
something from Person B they would go to them and offer Person B something they want
in return for what Person B has, this is called trade, the first step in the process of creating
money. The problem with trade is it would usually become bartering, which is highly
inconvenient. When Person A would barter with Person B, Person B might not want what
Person A is offering, so Person A might have to go to Person C, D, E, F, G in order to trade
with each of them until he eventually has what Person B wants so he can go back to Person
B and get what he originally wanted. The reason it extends all the way to person G is
because maybe Person E has what Person B wants but Person E wants something that
Person F has and Person F wants what Person C has so Person A will have to run around in
