If each person produced everything he needed to live, there would be no trade. But is this possible? Imagine if we had to plant and harvest all the food we eat, make our clothes, manufacture our hygiene and cleaning products, build our homes and our cars. Impossible! Even because there would always be someone who would invent something cool that we would also like to have, then we would need exchange the things we know how to do for things that others know how to do… There, without realizing it, the business! That is why the merchant is such an important professional, as it is he who facilitates the exchange of products between people, buying from some and selling to others.
