Why is bartering not used globally on a large scale to meet the needs of people and populations?

Bartering involves exchanging goods or services directly, without money. For it to work on a large scale, people would need a common way to compare the value of very different things, such as food, clothing, and labor; that would require standardizing their values. Therefore, the correct choice is “It would require the value of goods and services to be standardized.”
