barter is where people exchanged goods for other goods like trading a loaf of bread for some jam.Alot of people on the map use the barter systems and aboriginals used that barter system but could only trade with themselves

Additional comment:

Barter is trading for goods without a fixed price tag. Some places barter with currencies, and some use only goods to trade with. The old trading posts were often barter only, with little currency.

Alternate Answer:

Barter System is that system in which goods are exchanged for goods. In ancient times when money was not invented trade as a whole was on barter system. This was possible only in a simple economy but after the development of economy, direct exchange of goods without the use of money, was not without defects.

Fact:

The Aztecs used the barter system to trade with neighboring cities. Through bartering the Aztecs adopted gods and traditions from the cities.

Barter is the one-on-one exchange of a product or service with another country, vendor or person. This is distinguished as a one-on-one trading system. In organized barter or trading companies, one trades their product or service for trade credits (a form of currency within that specific community) and can then withdraw product or service from the pool of available products and services that the community offers. Often, there are trade brokers that assist in finding what you are wanting, and salespeople that will enroll vendors that offer what you seek.

Trade organizations are preferred over one-on-one bartering, especially if there is a service balance due. E.g., more often than not, those that trade a computer for oil changes may find the oil change facility is out of business before the services are completed and the value of the computer was never received in full. There are a few trade organizations that are public companies; the best known and largest in North America is ITEX.

It is estimated that 75% of the Fortune 500 Companies have divisions that trade in one form or another.

Is slavery an example of barter?

NO. If a person were to theoretically self-enslave, e.g. they freely renounced all rights to self-control to work for a master in order to have the master provide him with accommodations and food, this would be a barter. However, this is not what happens in slavery. Slavery is the buying and selling of humans, so the transactors are the master-to-be and the slaver/slave market salesperson. The slave is the object of the transaction, not a party in the transaction. This is a typical currency transaction where the master-to-be pays the slaver for possession of the chattel property (the slave) and currency transactions are the opposite of barter.

Why is money better than barter?

Money is more useful than barter in most cases, though, since money is exchangeable for any desirable good or medium. Barter is only useful if both parties want a good or service that the other party can render. As a result, unless two parties actually wish to exchange goods for less than market value, they will opt to do a transaction valuated in currency.
