In a coercion-free environment you still don't barter in goods
exclusively.  But you are very careful about whose i.o.u's you take;
in particular, you want to make sure they don't write them at their whim.

But value (in money) in an economy is like energy (in calories) to
an ecology.  It is the thing in flux.

The future will see increasingly refined abstractions of chickens
(and centichickens and kilochickens) being exchanged, 
and how humans do this has been getting more intense since Mr.
Morse's telegrams..
