Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market (economics), market. Traders generally negotiate through a medium of credit or exchange, such as money. Though some economists characterize barter (i.e. trading things without the use of money) as an early form of trade, History of money#Emergence of money, money was invented before written history began. Consequently, any story of how money first developed is mostly based on conjecture and logical inference.
