I recommend this video which talks about bartering and how our simplistic view of bartering is quite innacurate to how things worked pre-money societies.
Andrewism is great. The majority of the video is discussing David Graebers Debt the first 5000 years which for a book about the history of debt and the relations between people in society is surprisingly entertaining. I’d recommend checking it out.

Yes, Andrewism is great!
If you are really interested in the topic, you should take the time to read “Debt, the first 5,000 years” by David Graeber. Totally worth it!
Is that guy’s accent…Irish Caribbean?
If I’m not mistaken he’s somewhere from western Africa. Was it Togo?
No, he’s from Trinidad.
So I was very wrong. Thanks for dewronging me! (Is that a word? It is now)
