In a barter economy would Jim Carrey have millions of dollars?
Never criticize a person until you walk a mile in their shoes… this way when you do criticize them you’ll be a mile away… oh… and you’ll have free shoes. :o)
No. He’d have millions of chickens.
Well, no, in the narrow sense that a “barter economy” wouldn’t have something as intrinsically worthless as a “dollar.”
But yes, he would still be a fabulously wealthy movie star dating shockingly beautiful women while we sit here posting to message boards and trying to go home with whoever is still in the bar at 3:50 AM. Arnold Schwartzenegger (sp) famously accepted a Gulfstream IV aircraft for doing Terminator II. So why wouldn’t Carrey take, say, a house, two Mercedes automobiles, a year of meals at Spago and a personal trainer in exchange for doing The Cable Guy?
The bigger problem of course is with the movie theater, stuck with all those trinkets worth $9.50 that people traded for movie tickets.
