When people meet to exchange one type of good for another, they both must want what the other is offering in exchange. Let's say that I have six chickens, and you have three sacks of flour. I really need and want your three sacks of flour, but you do not have a need for six chickens. You want two chickens, and a bushel of apples. This exchange would not be successful because we do not have an equal offering of our wants and needs.
