Study Notes

Medium of Exchange

Money facilitates quick and easy exchanges between individuals.

Coincidence of Wants

Money addresses the issue of "coincidence of wants" by allowing individuals to acquire goods and services they desire without needing to directly barter for them.

Unit of Account/ Value

Money acts as a common measure of value, simplifying the process of comparing prices between different goods and services.
Money provides a standard measure for transactions, ensuring consistency and facilitating economic activity.

Store of Value

Money serves as a store of value, allowing individuals to hold onto it and use it later, unlike perishable goods that have a limited lifespan.
Perishable goods, like fresh produce from a garden, have a short shelf life, requiring individuals to sell them quickly or risk losing their value. Money, however, can be stored and its value retained over time.
