Up till now, the island had functioned on a barter system, 
where one person traded one good or service for another. But 
this process was cumbersome and ineffi cient. A spear maker 
may want a chef, but a chef may not want a spear. Even if 
their desires did converge, how many cooked meals would a 
spear be worth, anyway? 
To replace this system of haphazard deal making, the island 
needed something that could be traded for anything and 
that was accepted by everybody. In other words, they needed 
money. 
Since everyone on this island ate fi sh, it was decided that fi sh 
would serve as money. 
In short order, all wages and prices 
were quoted in terms of fi sh. 
And since subsistence was 
still imagined at one fi sh 
per day, one fi sh had a 
value to which everyone 
could relate. The island’s 
price structure therefore was 
related to the real (or intrinsic) value of fi sh. 
Effi ciency and Defl ation
An economy in which workers can specialize in a specifi c 
trade or service is always better than one where everyone does 
the same thing. Specialization increases production, which in 
turn raises living standards.
