Trading Networks

Trading networks are systems that facilitate the exchange of goods and services between different parties, such as individuals, businesses, or countries. These networks can involve direct trading, where parties exchange items of value, or indirect trading, which might involve money as a medium. Trading networks help streamline commerce by creating connections and establishing relationships, enabling participants to access a wider range of products and markets. They can vary in scale, from local bartering groups to global supply chains, and often rely on effective communication, trust, and mutual benefit among the trading partners involved.
