Passage Three

As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding the cheapest market for the wings they wish to purchase. (83) Specialization is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.

Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal. (84) The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties ’ desires and preferences.

Thirdly, money acts as store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on end would involve 20 obvious disadvantages. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided.Using money as a medium of exchange means that_____.

20.There’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describethe way a lot of North American interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.Professor Barry Wellman’s term is “networked individualism”. It’s not the easiest concept to grasp.In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked atthe same time? You need other people for network. Here’s what he means. Until the internet ande-mail came along, our social network involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, andcolleagues. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to personin real life. But the latest study confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through thecomputer has replaced a great deal of social activities and person-to-person interaction. Somepeople worry that the Internet is turning us into isolated people who shut out other people in favorof a false world on computer screens To the contrary, the study discovered that the Internetconnects us with more real people than expected- helpful people who can give advice on careers,medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americanstold the researchers that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal withmajor life decisions. So we network individuals are pretty tricky: we’re keeping more to ourselves,while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!According to the latest research, electronic interaction through computer is ______.
