Back in the day... Money used to = gold. You would bring gold to a bank and get a note, that was backed by gold in the banks reserves. Then someone had a brilliant idea called fractional reserve banking and that let us spend beyond the actual gold in reserves, and create debt and the current fucky situation.
So in essence, the barter system has been around much longer then this fiat currency bullshit, and well as we can all see, this system of paper money backed by nothing, won't last forever.
We were trading gold for dollar notes then that dollar for a round of cheese, but at the core, we traded gold for the round of cheese = barter.

I myself personally advocate a "credit" system based on an individuals production to society. Nowadays a banker who fucks the most people reaps the most credits, but the guys picking the food we ALL need to survive gets shafted.
