to provide food for their families (subsistence farming). What is
the meaning of barter? Bartering means to exchange or trade one
product for another. What is an example of bartering in American
culture (trading at lunch/trading video games, etc)? Why do you
think the development of coins produced wealth in Athens? It
allowed people to purchase any product instead of being limited to
trading. Why do you think the wealthy families in Athens had

wealthy people to pay for government projects (religious
festivals/military ). Do you think this is fair? Justify your
answer by supporting it with 2 reasons.
