Money is the means to the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, only accelerate the economic gap between people. Barter is, on the other hand, the best way to get something without being rich or poor. Because one must abstain from something to get some other thing. People must be remaining economically equal however often they repeat it. Most common barter is marriage, more officially a monogamy system. One must abandon the right to get access to some women to be with only one woman. This is a kind of joke, but reflecting a phase of truth..
