A story does not have to be factual to be true...the whole point of personally picking a medium of exchange for commodities is that hauling around all your onions and wheat and potatoes yourself is a very expensive way to transact. If you make it yourself, you look for efficiencies of exchange. The modern market is geared for bureaucrats and plutocrats, and not for anyone else. As they say, the House always wins. So what if the economy became un-housed? Who besides the B's and P's would lose?
