Famous quotes containing the words barter and/or exchanges:
“I confidently predict the collapse of capitalism and the beginning of history. Something will go wrong in the machinery that converts money into money, the banking system will collapse totally, and we will be left having to barter to stay alive. Those who can dig in their garden will have a better chance than the rest. I’ll be all right; I’ve got a few veg.”
—Margaret Drabble (b. 1939)
“When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one.”
