Gift Economy vs Barter - Has Barter really been used anywhere at any scale?

Scott and Perpend have a lively debate on whether barter has been used as the main economy in any culture.

The gift economy applies to the Tribal model, family, or clan.

We also discuss intentional community.

Are we a community? As he states in this episode, Perpend is seeking an intentional community that is willing to sell everything and move closer together.

Perpend also shares his spiritual journey.
