I recommend checking out anthropologist David Graeber’s renowned book Debt: The First 5000 Years. I wrote a similar piece to yours years ago, and later learned that the “barter system” did not actually precede money. That is a made up idea for which no historical anthropological evidence exists. Instead, barter is used almost always in systems where there is already a currency to correlate values of assets to.
