In barter system the goods were limited. Barter system was lead only to lower level development.
Barter system was good when needs were limited. Needs of man were increased but the supply of goods were not enough to satisfy man’s needs.
Needs differentiate from man to man. If either parties get what they need then it is double coincidence. If not it is a trouble as they don’t get what they need.
In the barter system it is difficult to divide and sub-divide goods.Posibility of exchange his good for only one good not for two or more.
The value of the goods cannot be distributed equally as there were no measure during that period.
The exchange of goods worth a service of a person was impossible as it was inconvenient to measure it. Barter sytem cannot exchange goods for services.
Perishable goods could not saved as wealth for their future expenses. The economy could not contribute anything towards capital formation of the country too.
Due to these disadvantages the barter system slowly went down and perished. Finally money was invented and man became dependent to satisfy all his needs.
