Document Summary

Money any thing acceptable as a mean of paying for products and services. Barter: simple exchange where two people directly trade one product for another. Double coincidence of wants a trading partner not only is selling what you want, but who also wants and is willing to accept what you are selling. The acceptability by all as a means of payment solves the barter problem of the double coincidence of wants. A unit of account - money functions as a standard unit for measuring prices. Easier to compare what you must pay. Money allows you to save some of your income for future spending. As a store of value, money functions as a time machine for moving purchasing power from the present to the future. Future is uncertain, you may be saving as a precaution. Opportunity cost: the interest you could have earned by investing the money instead.
