Talk:Natural economy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't this just the same thing as a barter economy? MrVoluntarist 02:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Not necessarilly, some people in the middle ages would have received royal gifts - for example, Henry VIII Granted Thomas More umpteen Swans and Hams as part of his being Lord Chancellor (with which he had to maintain his estate), IIRC hieratic is teh word to describe that. Also, again, the Inca Empire would have been a non-barter natural economy...--Red Deathy 08:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

It would be nice if someone paraphrased the quotations, and expanded on the article. 24630 17:43, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I really appreciate the quotations, but they'd look better if the article was significantly expanded. TeamZissou (talk) 17:22, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
