When they say "we should go back to bartering ..."
The swap is about to take hold in Italy. In the end, after so many complications caused by the current economy, it didn't seem like a bad idea to go back to bartering.
Swap is the most ancient of trading techniques rendered in the most innovative form. Now that we have moved from "barter" to "swap" it will probably be less antiquated to think of the exchange of useful materials instead of the classic economic rate.
Thus arises this new modus operandi which is spreading like wildfire in Italy, after England and part of northern Europe. A very welcome method. Although in some ways the regulation that manages it is still unknown as an idea and unclear.
How can you swap
It is only a matter of time to understand the mechanism. After all, swap is a marketing technique that we have carried in our genes since ancient times. And it has returned to being useful over the course of this century. It may be easier and more convenient to start exchanging with people you know. Precisely because you have a certain confidence in the product that will pass through your hands.
This does not take away the possibility that little by little the exchange can also take place in larger communities. And maybe one day it will be possible to set up special areas for swap.
That's not impossible, as swap has rapidly begun to spread across the net. In the case of online swaps, there are certainly advantages in terms of timing. Or it will certainly be easier to find a wider choice of objects than a smaller core. However, this does not mean that you cannot run into the classic scams or scams of those who do not view the goods live.
Could the swap change the fate of Italy?
Here we have found a new way, which is not very new, to kick the crisis. Coins are abolished, and what one person does not like or no longer needs may be of necessity for another, provided that the proposed bargaining chip is of a similar value. But there is very little to do with swapping.
It is just a word that changes giving the possibility to rotate this mechanism in a more fluid way. It has nothing different from the more classic barter which, finally, returns to be a good method for making purchases.
