We all agreed that gold is worth something, even though it is, practically speaking, useless. We agreed that these green peices of paper represent worthless gold, so they are worth something. We agreed that little copper coins represent much rarer gold, and are worth something.

Sometimes, I wonder if anything would be solved if we went back to bartering for goods. I have no view on this, just some food for thought. I do not understand the connection this has to our "debate" (I am using the term loosely, a debate would generally be more focused, this is more of a multilateral discussion). Could you explain? Or is it entirely separate? It is interesting!
