1 Coeditor Bart Fisher addresses this issue in a footnote where he states: “This [introduction] uses the term barter to mean ail forms of barter and countertrade” (p. 5 n.1). Lewis Carroll also depicted such authority over the English language in his character Humpty Dumpty (Through the Looking Glass) who said to Alice: “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

2 Vogt echoes coeditor Fisher when she states that she “uses the word barter to mean all forms of barter and countertrade” (p. 169).
