What would crime look like without a medium of exchange?

[Jeremiah_Dyke]

Mises says,

The “materialism” of the stock exchange and of business accountancy does not hinder anybody from living up to the standards of Thomas a Kempis or from dying for a noble cause. The fact that the masses prefer detective stories to poetry and that it therefore pays better to write the former than the latter, is not caused by the use of money and monetary accounting. It is not the fault of money that there are gangsters, thieves, murderers, prostitutes, corruptible officials and judges. It is not true that honesty does not “pay.” It pays for those who prefer fidelity to what they consider to be right to the advantages which they could derive from a different attitude.

There’d probably be more of it, given that everyone would have a much lower standard of living.

Instead of someone robbing a store for money, they’d probably rob stores for specifics (diamonds, electronics, etc.) and you’d be bribing judges the same way. Seems really inconvenient if you’re a theif or briber.
