A farmer specialises in apples and no longer produces the other goods her household uses. Why does exchange become important?
Apple output can be traded for goods and services produced by other specialists
Exchange allows the farmer to consume without giving up any apples or money
Specialisation makes the household completely self-sufficient
The farmer can satisfy every want using apples directly
