Not at all, very interesting in fact. I might be wrong but the result of all this is that barter is going to be the general rule.
As a result, values for everything will vary greatly as you said. Basic of economics.
It's even a reality today. A year ago I fixed my neighbour's computer (48 hours works as he had the most virus I ever saw in a single computer) and in return he fixed my concrete floor (2 hours work for him). The deal was fair:
- He would have had to buy a new computer and I would have spent 48 hours anyway helping him with it.
- I would have spent more than 48 hours to realise the worse concrete floor you can imagine.
In the outcome, he has a working computer and I could open my office in a week, starting to make money.
