UnBelievable. A truly brilliant case study you provided in a barter economy of seeds, wheat, vegetables, farmers, and a carpenter. Exemplifying abstract principles in a case study of a relatively simple, concrete example is a wonderful way to teach and learn. Not surprisingly, your post raised as many questions for me as provided answers. But I think my questions are getting slightly more subtle. A fascinating exercise I must say. I'm going to try to fit in the notion of Credit in a bit more detail. Also, I still wish to understand better the relationship between wealth, money, credit, and the realities of a deflationary scenario. But the examples you have provided provide a great base for further exploration. Many thanks and best regards, Glenn
