Of course, the Bible has a perfectly adequate language, but it's suffered a lot of thoughtless wear.

There is no reason products and services could not be swapped directly by consumers and producers through a system of direct exchange – essentially a massive barter economy. All it requires is some commonly used unit of account and adequate computing power to make sure all transactions could be settled immediately.

Central banks in their present form would no longer exist – nor would money.
