<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1130031, member: 26302&quot;]My example with water was one where the person in the desert NEEDED water NOW and THEN, not 8 hour drive away in a car he did not have. He could not make the same trip as I, since I had the car.</p><p><br /></p><p>My example with the salt was that IRAN had the salt, the Sogdians, (not Iranians), were the traders. The traders made the money trading with the Iranians for salt, (for little), then selling it to people without salt, (for a lot). The point being just because the Iranians had the salt, (your wealth), did not make them wealthy. It was the Sogdians, (with no salt), that made the wealth from the exchange. It has always been this way, I just wish I could understand how to explain it clearer. Sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
