The future of the "Spheres of Exchange"

Bohanna discusses how the Tiv are concerned because their categories of exchangeable items cannot be maintained. He says that there are three mains reasons for this fact: (1) two of the categories today have no overt validity, (2) many new commodities have been introduced which do not belong to any category, and (3) money has provided a common denominator among the categories which was previously lacking. With this being said, along with the introduction of money, are tiers of exchange an appropriate and correct way to categorize and identify the principles of exchange and investment amongst the Tiv? If not, what might this new categorization demonstrating the principles of exchange and investment look like?
