Ummm… this is really a video I would call “basic” in so many ways. Doesn’t get into marriage. Marriage is the classic component of any bartering system, any political economy. It really is super basic. What you need to do is talk about political economy, and the forms of such. What we may loosely term “bartering economies” are ones that trade not only goods, but also family members, in the form of marriage. Who let this thing through here that understands socialism and the history of political economies? Bartering is the first glimpse we get into economies that, while still in touch with the means of production, begin trying to “barter better” and take advantage of hierarchies. I want to play nice, but I can’t subscribe to a community called “socialism” that does not understand these basic things about how political economies have developed over time. This video does not even consider capitalism as a late development. It just tries to explain bartering economies in capitalist terms.
