Barter system was lead only to lower level development.\tBarter 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.\tNeeds 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.\tIn 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.\tThe value of the goods cannot be distributed equally as there were no measure during that period.\tThe exchange of goods worth a service of a person was impossible as it was inconvenient to measure it.
