The emergence of money

When the money originated, how and where?

And how the situation was before the existence of money in human life?

Before the advent of money, there was no way for the exchange of goods or services is the same goods, people were exchanging goods with goods, without a broker, by contrast, has arisen the need for people, groups and human exchange, due to the availability of a commodity for some people and their need for another commodity, etc., and is worth mentioning that prior to the emergence of such exchanges, the human populations, living on what their reasons for living, working as much as enough of living, which relied mostly on what they can catch to feed their nutritional needs. So we have seen that Narj quickly, on the subject of barter or exchange first, to have an input assistant, to understand the process of the emergence of money.

Barter and exchange
Simply boils down to the principle of reciprocity in giving something for nothing else, it may be equivalent or equal or even non-equivalent to him, he is permission giving and taking, or give and take (the principle of give and take or give and take), and there is no exchange of tender only, or taking only this is not exchanged, or Valtbura giveaway is not exchanged, but bid only from one side, or the opposite Kalokhz only by looting or robbery or theft, it is taken only by force or fraud and is not exchanged, Stealing and looting are not exchanged They took only. Here lies one of the most important facts or the essence or the secrets of the universe, created by God Almighty, and the creation of a human in order to Aamrh, Dealing principle (give and take) discloses peace between people and communities, as opposed to the principle of looting and theft (Hat only), and here we find that it sits the principle of looting (in terms of Hat only) with begging (Hat only), with the difference in the development of Muti in both cases, Valmattiy in a robbery by force and gives despite his nose or a result of negligence of it, but in a begging Muti gives his consent. So do not upright life nor social peace prevail among the people and peace between countries, but through the principle of give and take together, through the presence of a healthy communication channels (give and take), do not take alone, nor the tender alone build healthy communities.

 

Exchange process is purely humanitarian, says Adam Smith in this regard ((We've never seen two dogs were negotiating in order to share a piece of bone, we have not seen an animal that never sat interviewing another animal like him, trying to Avhamh by voice, or body movements, say to him, that's me I am, and that you are you, or I'll give you a financial return for to give me you're the owner .. Give me you do not need much from you, and I'll give you what I need from me, this way is to get the bulk of the services beneficial and necessary between people)), and extracted Adam Smith of the , that the process of exchange that you need, of course, to reflect and account for the amounts and types, is a purely humanitarian operation, where animals can not be carried out. See sociologists, that the exchange is one of the causes of the formation of social structures, resulting from the attraction, ecstatic parties, one to the other, because one of them has what it wants the other party, and vice versa, and dissolves this attraction and go away, after the completion or completion of the exchange process, unless There was a new exchange, arises again and so on. It is in my opinion is not much different with the Marxist view of the exchange, except in words only, Marx says that (the exchange is based on, swap value Alastamalah value exchange for bounties, for example, carpenter, he does not need all of those doors that are made by his work, but is in need of bounties and other goods of another kind, namely that the doors which are made, does not represent the value Astamalah for him, but it represents the value of Astamalah when others), so people are looking for value Alastamalah of things, and Apadlunha values ​​of reciprocity for the things that they produce.

 

Here we have mentioned the word production .. Before the exchange, it was not for the production of great importance, man toil to find enough money for himself and enough, but with the evolution of human group, and its production, which overflowed its need, emerged the idea of ​​swapping the surplus production for need, producing another with other people, is for those other surplus , but it is desirable for the first group, and so on .. So the primary motivation and perhaps only behind the swap operation between human beings is the difference in production, from a human to another, or from one person to another, says Ibn Khaldun (Arab-Muslim world, the founder of sociology), agreed that with Aristotle, he says (to the capacity of human beings of different , and different circumstances, do not allow for people to get all their needs, equally, hence the need to swap, swap what I have what you have .. swap what I own I, nor do I need, including owned by you, and do not need, but I need much I, while You need what I own and I am so ..

It is the wisdom of God, the Almighty, the slaves, that made them different, to complement each other .. To know each other .. To deal .. PEOPLE to the ground, and they Khalifa Almighty God, as he said in the Koran (I will create in the ground Khalifa) (verse .... Surat ....), as well as said in the Koran (I have created you into nations and tribes so) (verse. Surat .... ...), man since the beginning of life on Earth, needs to his fellow man, because of the difference between humans Each abilities, says the Muslim prophet Muhammad (r), ((all the same mockery of what created him)), The capabilities of different people , and different circumstances, do not allow them access to all their needs easily equal, The production of goods and services, or provided unevenly among all human beings. It is easier to peasant agricultural production, but need tools made by the manufacturer, (this is a simple example to bring meaning only). That every human being has his own abilities, and circumstances surrounding, which allows him to produce, and then owning commodities, or certain services and not others, opted to swap it with others, they have their own production, which are characterized by, and so on countries and groups of people, even the Chinese who invaded their products world markets , east and west, north and south, are in need of the items, not available to them, to understand, for example, of the world's most importers of Iranian oil (a recent example for illustration only).

 

All of the above exchange, is like the idea of ​​a social General, on the subject of human social exchange as a necessity, and did not publish it to the subject of barter, which first appeared on earth pictures of economic exchange, (note that the whole of our conversation focused on the economic outlook, only without entering in details or social phenomena other, such as the exchange of knowledge and cultures, or human relations other, such as marriage, our subject the economy only, so it should be noted), maybe we were able to address the issue of exchange, this is a separate and detailed in another angle, because of its great importance, it is worth studying patiently and depth, for being one of the main reasons for the achievement of the divine will, in the reconstruction of the earth acquainted, and mutual affection, and compassion, and to live in peace, if every human group, sought to swap of its bounties, with groups of other human, correctly, and mutually satisfactory, without conflict or fight, does not sell arms markets, and continues to wars between nations, but the devil's death spread trade, around the world, to cast every day by the thousands to hell. The ultimate goal of the exchange between people, or between people is dating, and mutual love, cooperation, and peace, and this is the will of God, his creation as mentioned in many verses in the Koran, but some people, seeking in the ground spoilers, Mtntaan, arrogant, in order to get what others have, unrequited forcibly and negatively and prey, such as the invasion state to another state in order to rob its resources, and its annexation to the bounties of gaseous state, without the face of the right, which is the work of demonic, not pleasing to God at all, and no matter how successful these attempts, the Almighty God for these proud lookout, and Serém and their pal in the world, or delay it for them in the afterlife, Vinalon who deserve torment in hell, God forbid. It is noteworthy that the Islamic vision corresponds with the vision of all philosophers and thinkers around the world, ancient and modern, says Montesquieu (The impact of the natural trade is to reach peace, "peace", Vomtan negotiating with each other, are two nations linked by the bond of mutual), ie they two nations, their business relationships, and links, peace and love, and this is what God intended for us as human beings, and we reached him His Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him, through many of the hadith, the verses in the Koran.

 

We return to our topic about barter, it is historically known, that the system of trade in the elementary stages, was based on barter or swap, and when you say swap best that Nrdv after the word commodity, because the swap as a concept is still the same, since the beginning of creation, albeit for different images The shapes and ways, generally swap or barter, commodity swap means other commodity. Where the members of the tribe, or village, they meet in a particular place they call the market, was employed to fish replaces what has, of furs and skins and meat, including when employed in agriculture, wheat and firewood, and other than the earth grows. Even before the invention of the market (we'll come to later on the subject of extensive market study, the origins and evolution until today), it was individuals bartering what they have, including with relatives and loved ones in their surroundings family, or geographical around them. We have suffered our ancestors frequently, from a barter system, Vusbandthm many difficulties, which we mention, for example, but not limited to, the difficulty of achieving consensus dual between the wishes of the customer, I am fishing, I have skins and furs and meat, more than I need, and I go to the market to Ibadelha by wheat and barley , but the man who does not want him wheat meat or leather or fur, but wants Tamra Oasla for example, what I am maker, as I have, and what makes this guy? Looking each of us for a third party, probably wants to swap dates with meat or leather, after a long search, I found the right person, I looked for the man who has wheat, and wants to substitute his Tamra, and I found it has been replaced by his goods and departed from the market, so I went back looking again who wants flesh and Geloda by wheat and furs, and so were the problems with barter grandparents, incompatibility problems in the desires or needs of dealers.

 

Problems barter too, was difficult to estimate the proportions of barter, this man has a wheat wants to replace it with a sheep, and when they met and the joy of the proximity of a deal barter or exchange between them, entered into a new problem, which is how compatibility on a scale fair, determine on the basis of the proportion of a tradeoff between wheat and sheep, the problem here is how much is equal to the head of the flock of attorneys wheat? We must find a standard unit, attributed to units of commodities, so we know how much is equal to the head of the flock of attorneys wheat, have you seen how suffering of our ancestors, for centuries in their lives, they are suffering a lot, Beksna we are today, what you're doing now and you are at home and on the your bed, with your hand and cup of tea and a mouse Alcolmpiotrtnkz by the icon to add a commodity to Your Shopping Cart in a second or perhaps part of a second? It takes long days of our ancestors, and a long search for another swap their wares, and perhaps spoiled goods before they find the bartered with them.

 

Let's take an illustrative example, suppose (presumably arguably impractical) to simplify all, that the market there are four commodities only, are wheat and sheep, dates and chicken, then we Kmtaaji in the market, that we estimate ratios of the swap, we must appreciate how much is equal to the head of sheep for wheat, How much is equal to the pass, and how much is equal for chicken, as well as wheat for the pass, and wheat for chicken, and also the dates for the chicken, look at the following equation, which estimates the number of ratios barter for goods only four.

 

Number ratios barter = number of items × (number of items -1) and divide by 2

Number ratios barter = 4 × (4-1) \ 2 = 6

So only four commodities market entailed, and there are six of swap ratios, let alone if the commodity market fifty different? How much would we have ratios of barter? Almighty calculate it according to the previous equation:

Number of barter ratios = 50 × (50 - 1) \ 2 = 1225

 

Any of our thousand two hundred and twenty-five different swap ratio, any suffering of those? .. Process very stiff, so the thought of our ancestors in the agreement on a scale fair, and acceptable to all dealers in the market, attributed to the values ​​of various commodities, Ivaqgua, for example, to make the measure is wheat (This is an example approximate no more) and be pleased with all the dealers in the market this measure and made that a bushel wheat equivalent of a chicken or two, for example, and the head of the sheep is equal to ten pints of wheat, bushels of dates worth Mkialin of wheat, and the head of the cow is equal to fifty Macaiala of wheat, as well as the head of a camel, and so forth, then head Alghatam equal to five hens, and five pints of dates etc. .. So here is a measure of a bushel of wheat .. The measure of wheat was employed by the ancient Egyptians and Indians used tobacco, and the Greeks used the cattle, and so on ..

 

 Practical difficulties of barter Also, the inability of some of the goods for the retailer, for example, if you went to the market to trade off what you have, and the sheep want to Tqaeidah five pints of wheat, but did not find a man in the market has only three pints what do you do? The sheep's head can not be separated or divided, will accept this small amount of wheat or What do you do? The same example can possibly be reversed, and so on .. Those were the grandparents difficulties in exercising their economic and trade, must be played now and pray to God and thank Him that you did not realize that time and now lives in a large well-being.

 

As we have seen before, it has emerged the money commodity as a result of many of the difficulties, in the process of barter terms of inequality of goods, and the incompatibility of their respective owners and the inability of some of the division like cattle (we'll come to mention it in detail in subsequent portions), the people sought refuge in intermediate goods, to be used as a measure in the value of other commodities, and Ye him to be attributed to each of various commodities other, so that it is acceptable to all dealers in the market, has been used by human some types of animals as commodities and intermediate like he did the Greeks, or wheat, as did the Egyptians, and use the Redskins tobacco as money commodity Kiesseh, and the Chinese have used knives and tools, and so on for each human group we drive commodity own, has been named this intermediate goods goods in cash or cash commodity, and using these commodities monetary medium of exchange turned-commerce system based on barter, commodity commodity again, gradually turning to the system exchange is based on the use of money middleware, which are still good also, but a commodity standard, agreed between the dealers, and became swap operation passes two stages, selling solo what I have of a commodity or commodities, and then buy the single other commodity I want her by commodity monetary standard intermediate, obtained by from the sale of what I had of the goods. It has the cattle in Egypt, for example, was sold or replaces it with cash commodity (wheat) and then this money commodity (wheat) or part of the purchase or honey or Tamara Zeta, or any other goods he wants and so on.

 

Evolved conditions of the people and groups of people, over the centuries, and the changed conditions little by little, and it is difficult for people to use wheat, cattle and others, commodities as money came in precious metals such as gold and silver, to replace them and become a medium of exchange, store of wheat, cattle and other commodities, due in choice of precious metals for the exchange of cash, in preference to other other commodities, is the enjoyment of qualities are important, are not available in the other, of which the most important rarity in gold and silver elements which are rare in the earth, that is lacking, such as iron, for example, and this is the most important feature of these two elements, then the rigidity and lack of usability of destruction with time, money, which makes them easy to make it homogeneous and indivisible, easy to carry and store, but most important of all, they enjoy relative scarcity.

If we look at the disadvantages and difficulties of barter, from the incompatibility of desires among the people, the inability of most of the goods for the retailer, and a large number of prices for each commodity (lack of scale), and the fact that the barter system does not allow Pachtzan values, and the inability of most of the goods for storage, pay people to Find Alternative, which treats them with such defects. Not above all, she was the motivation for the creation of money, but the movement of communities and increase production to flooding of the need for people, then pushed them to find a way to save this surplus production, way easier and more secure it from corruption, or loss was precious metals, is the most appropriate alternative for it.
