</ref> A medium of exchange permits the value of goods to be assessed and rendered in terms of an intermediary, called a [[currency]], which is an application of the concept of [[money]] widely accepted in exchange for a [[good]] or [[service]]. It is an intermediary used to avoid the inconveniences of a pure [[barter (economics)|barter]] system.


{{otherpeople|Hayward}}
By contrast, as [[William Stanley Jevons]] argued, in a barter system there must be a [[coincidence of wants]] before two people can trade – one must want exactly what the other has to offer, when and where it is offered, so that the exchange can occur. A medium of exchange offers the parties to delay the transfer of [[wealth]] between them, which otherwise would have been an immediate, and completed, transfer of wealth in a barter system.

'''David Justin Hayward''' (born [[14 October]] [[1946]], in [[Swindon]], [[Wiltshire]]) is an [[England|English]] [[musician]], best known as a [[singer]], [[guitarist]] and [[composer]] in the [[rock band]], [[The Moody Blues]].

==Career==
In 1965, Hayward worked with [[Marty Wilde]] and his wife in The Wilde Three. Aged 17, he signed a [[publishing]] [[contract]] with the [[skiffle]] artist and [[record producer]], [[Lonnie Donegan]] - a move that Hayward later regretted as it meant that the rights to all his [[song]]s [[songwriter|written]] before 1974 would always be owned by Donegan's Tyler Music.

===The Moody Blues===
Hayward joined the Moody Blues in 1966, replacing the departing [[singer|vocalist]] / guitarist, [[Denny Laine]]. [[Bassist]] [[John Lodge (musician)|John Lodge]] replaced [[Clint Warwick]] at the same time.

Hayward and Lodge's integration into the Moody Blues sparked greater commercial success and recognition for the [[band (music)|band]], transforming them into one of the biggest-selling acts.

The 1967 album ''[[Days of Future Passed]]'', one of the first and most influential [[symphonic rock]] albums, spawned the Hayward-penned [[single (music)|single]]s "[[Tuesday Afternoon]]" and the classic "[[Nights in White Satin]]". The latter record went on to sell over two million copies.

Hayward also wrote the band's [[United Kingdom|UK]] number two [[Chart-topper|hit]], "Question", as well as most of the group's other singles, including "[[Voices in the Sky]]", "Driftwood", "[[The Voice (The Moody Blues song)|The Voice]]", "[[Blue World]]" "[[Your Wildest Dreams]]", "[[I Know You're Out There Somewhere]]", "[[English Sunset]]" and "[[December Snow]]".

Their [[album]] sales from 1978 to the present are over 60 million. This is the regularly quoted total of their album sales as the total sales of their albums prior to 1978 is disputed due to erroneous record company data.

===1974 onwards===
In 1974, the Moody Blues decided to take what ended up being a four-year break from performing and [[sound recording and reproduction|recording]]. Hayward, however, continued working with John Lodge, using musicians and producers from the Moody Blues label, [[Threshold Records|Threshold]], and sounding very much like the mother group. Together, they had a hit in 1975 with "Blue Guitar" (which actually was a Hayward recording with the band, [[10cc]] ) and released an album entitled ''[[Blue Jays (album)|Blue Jays]]''. Hayward has also written four prominent songs with Moodies' [[flautist]], Ray Thomas.

Hayward found international [[solo (music)|solo]] success in 1978 when he appeared on the ''[[Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds]]'' [[concept album]], which yielded his hits "Forever Autumn" and "The Eve of the War". Wayne later contributed to Hayward's 1980 album ''Night Flight''.

During the 1980s, Hayward composed and performed for [[film]] and [[television]], including the [[theme song]] "It Won't Be Easy" for the 1987 [[BBC Two|BBC2]] [[science fiction]] series ''[[Star Cops]]'', "Something Evil, Something Dangerous" for the film ''[[Howling IV: The Original Nightmare]]'', "Eternal Woman" for ''She'' and music for ''[[The Shoe People]]''.

In 1989, with producer-arranger [[Mike Batt]], Hayward released ''[[Classic Blue]]'', an album of [[pop standard]]s written by other composers, set to [[orchestration]] and [[arrangement|arranged]] by Batt. ''Classic Blue'' also included a cover version of [[Led Zeppelin]]'s hit song "[[Stairway to Heaven]]." His most recent solo album, ''[[The View From The Hill]]'', was released in 1996, and a live recording, ''[[Live In San Juan Capistrano (album)|Live in San Juan Capistrano]]'' followed in 1998.

Hayward contributed vocals to a song on [[Rick Wakeman]]'s 1999 album, ''Return to the Centre of the Earth''.

In 2003 he sang most of the songs on another orchestral album, consisting of Moody Blues songs with the Frankfurt Rock Orchestra, ''Justin Hayward and Friends Perform the Hits of the Moody Blues'' (alternatively titled ''Sing The Moody Blues Classic Hits''). Hayward, however, was later involved in a legal dispute, now resolved, as he was not being paid for his participation on the album.

In April 2006, Hayward took part in the stage tour of ''[[Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds]]'', reprised his role in Autumn 2007 in Australia and in the UK in December 2007, and will do so again in the UK in June 2009.

In a recent [[BBC World Service]] interview, Hayward and [[John Lodge]] made it clear they have no plans to stop working and regard it as "a privilege" to still be working in the [[music industry]].

==Instruments==
For the most part, Hayward has used a red [[Gibson ES-335]] ("main axe"), though he also uses other guitars in both performing and recording, including a 1955 [[C. F. Martin & Company|Martin]] D-28 "Dreadnought", a James Olssen, Black Guild acoustic, (mock) Squier Stratocaster, [[Fender Telecaster]], a blonde Guild open-tuned 12-string acoustic (for "Question"), and in 1967 a black [[Gibson Les Paul|Les Paul]]. Between 1965 and 1968 he was without his Gibson 335 and relied on other instruments. He has a pronounced dislike for [[Ovation Guitar Company|Ovation]] guitars.

==Awards==
Hayward was awarded the first of numerous [[ASCAP]] awards for songwriting in 1974. In 1985, the Moody Blues picked up the [[Ivor Novello Award]] for Outstanding Contribution to Music, and in 1988 Hayward received the Ivor Novello Award, among other honours, for Composer of the Year (for "I Know You're Out There Somewhere"). In 2000, he was one of only a handful of British artists to receive the "Golden Note" award for lifetime achievement by the American Society of Songwriters, Composers and Publishers. In 2004, Hayward was awarded the "Gold Badge" for lifetime achievement by the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

*1968 ~ "[[Voices in the Sky]]" on ''[[In Search of the Lost Chord]]''
A medium of exchange is a representation of an unfinished transfer of [[wealth]] introduced in a longer time domain than the near instantaneous transfer of wealth in a barter transaction. It is by application, a [[debt]] instrument, a claim on goods or services owed by one party to another. When the debt instrument itself is traded to another party to satisfy a different transaction of wealth, the ownership of the original debt claim is simply transferred to the new holder of the medium of exchange. The new holder of the debt instrument fully expects the original debtor of the instrument to satisfy the debt when the instrument is presented them. If anyone else chooses to accept the debt instrument from the new holder, a resulting transfer of a good or service is given to the holder, and the medium of exchange is again transferred to a new owner. Such a medium of exchange, when transferred from the original owner to another party is thus considered "circulated" to the next owner of the debt instrument.
*1968 ~ "Visions of Paradise" (with [[Ray Thomas]]) on ''In Search of the Lost Chord''
*1968 ~ "The Actor" on ''In Search of the Lost Chord''


*1969 ~ "[[Lovely to See You]]" on ''[[On the Threshold of a Dream]]''
As long as parties other than the original debtor accepts the debt instrument in exchange for giving wealth, the medium of exchange is considered still in circulation. Whenever the original debtor accepts the debt instrument in exchange for giving of his goods or services, the debt the instrument represented is considered satisfied, unless the original debtor then chooses again to circulate that instrument to another creditor.
*1969 ~ "[[Never Comes the Day]]" on ''On the Threshold of a Dream''
*1969 ~ "Are You Sitting Comfortably?" (with Ray Thomas) on ''On the Threshold of a Dream''


*1969 ~ "Gypsy" on ''[[To Our Children's Children's Children]]''
The more goods and services represented between the parties of a circulating medium of exchange, the more selection of goods and services the medium of exchange can be exchanged for. The more parties represented in such a society, the more in demand the medium of exchange becomes to facilitate delayed transfers of wealth. A medium of exchange then, is a claim on the aggregate goods and services of a community until it is destroyed by the original issuer by satisfying the debt with its own good or service, or by the owner of the debt instrument who does not receive satisfaction of the debt it represents.
*1969 ~ "Watching & Waiting" (with Ray Thomas) on ''To Our Children's Children's Children''
*1969 ~ "I Never Thought I'd Live to be a Hundred" on ''To Our Children's Children's Children''


*1970 ~ "Question" on ''[[A Question of Balance]]''
==From barter to exchange==
*1970 ~ "It's Up to You" on ''A Question of Balance''
Although the [[unit of account]] must be in some way related to the medium of exchange in use, e.g. [[currency|coinage]] should be in denominations of that unit making [[accounting]] much easier to perform, it has often been the case that media of exchange have no natural relationship to that unit, and must be 'minted' or in some way marked as having that value. Also there may be variances in quality of the underlying good which may not have fully agreed [[commodity]] grading. The difference between the two functions becomes obvious when one considers the fact that coins were very often 'shaved', precious metal removed from them, leaving them still useful as an identifiable coin in the marketplace, for a certain number of units in trade, but which no longer had the quantity of metal supplied by the coin's minter. It was observed as early as [[Oresme]], [[Copernicus]] and then in 1558 by Sir [[Thomas Gresham]], that '''bad money drives out good''' in any marketplace ([[Gresham's Law]] states "Where legal tender laws exist, bad money drives out good money"). A more precise definition is this: "A currency that is artificially overvalued by law will drive out of circulation a currency that is artificially undervalued by that law." Gresham's law is therefore a specific application of the general law of price controls. A common explanation is that people will always keep the less adultered, less clipped, sweated, less filed, less trimmed coin, and offer the other in the marketplace for the full units for which it is marked. It is inevitably the bad coins proffered, good ones retained.
*1970 ~ "Dawning Is The Day" on ''A Question of Balance''


*1971 ~ "Procession" (with Thomas, Lodge, Edge and Pinder) on ''[[Every Good Boy Deserves Favour]]''
The fact that a [[bank]] or [[mint (coin)|mint]] has always been able to generate a medium of exchange marked for more units than it is worth as a store of value, is the basis of [[banking]]. [[Central banking]] is based on the principle that no medium needs more than the guarantee of the state that it can be redeemed for payment of [[debt]] as "[[legal tender]]" - thus, all money equally backed by the state is good money, within that state. As long as that state produces anything of [[economic value|value]] to others, its medium of exchange has some value, and its currency may also be useful as a standard of deferred payment among others, even those who never deal with that state directly in foreign exchange.
*1971 ~ "The Story In Your Eyes" on ''Every Good Boy Deserves Favour''
*1971 ~ "You Can Never Go Home" on ''Every Good Boy Deserves Favour''


*1972 ~ "You and Me" (with Graeme Edge) on ''[[Seventh Sojourn]]''
Of all functions of money, the medium of exchange function has historically been the most problematic because of [[counterfeiting]], the systematic and deliberate creation of bad money with no authorization to do so, leading to the driving out of the good money entirely.

==Solo discography==
Other functions rely not on recognition of some token or weight of metal in a marketplace, where time to detect any counterfeit is limited and benefits for successful passing-off are high, but on more stable long term [[social contract]]s: one cannot easily force a whole society to accept a different standard of deferred payment, require even small groups of people to uphold a [[floor price]] for a store of value, still less to re-price everything and rewrite all accounts to a unit of account (the most stable function). Thus it tends to be the medium of exchange function that constrains what can be used as a form of [[financial capital]].

It was once common in the [[United States]] to widely accept a check ([[cheque]]) as a medium of exchange, several parties endorsing it perhaps multiple times before it would eventually be deposited for its value in units of account, and thus redeemed. This practice became less common as it was exploited by forgers and led to a [[domino effect]] of bounced checks - a forerunner of the kind of fragility that electronic systems would eventually bring.

{{Moody Blues}}
In the age of [[electronic money]] it was, and remains, common to use very long strings of difficult-to-reproduce numbers, generated by [[encryption]] methods, to authenticate transactions and commitments as having come from trusted parties. Thus the medium of exchange function has become wholly a part of the marketplace and its signals, and is utterly integrated with the unit of account function, so that, given the integrity of the [[public key]] system on which these are based, they become to that degree inseparable. This has clear advantages - counterfeiting is difficult or impossible unless the whole system is compromised, say by a new [[factoring algorithm]]. But at that point, the entire system is broken and the whole infrastructure is obsolete - new keys must be re-generated and the new system will also depend on some assumptions about difficulty of factoring.


{{Lifetime|1946|LIVING|Hayward, Justin}}
Due to this inherent fragility, which is even more profound with [[electronic voting]], some [[list of economists|economists]] argue that units of account should not ever be abstracted or confused with the nominal units or tokens used in exchange. A medium is just that, a medium, and should not be confused for the message.

Justin Hayward
For other people named Hayward, see Hayward (disambiguation).

David Justin Hayward (born 14 October 1946, in Swindon, Wiltshire) is an English musician, best known as a singer, guitarist and composer in the rock band, The Moody Blues.

Career

In 1965, Hayward worked with Marty Wilde and his wife in The Wilde Three. Aged 17, he signed a publishing contract with the skiffle artist and record producer, Lonnie Donegan - a move that Hayward later regretted as it meant that the rights to all his songs written before 1974 would always be owned by Donegan's Tyler Music.

The Moody Blues

Hayward joined the Moody Blues in 1966, replacing the departing vocalist / guitarist, Denny Laine. Bassist John Lodge replaced Clint Warwick at the same time.

Hayward and Lodge's integration into the Moody Blues sparked greater commercial success and recognition for the band, transforming them into one of the biggest-selling acts.

The 1967 album Days of Future Passed, one of the first and most influential symphonic rock albums, spawned the Hayward-penned singles "Tuesday Afternoon" and the classic "Nights in White Satin". The latter record went on to sell over two million copies.

Hayward also wrote the band's UK number two hit, "Question", as well as most of the group's other singles, including "Voices in the Sky", "Driftwood", "The Voice", "Blue World" "Your Wildest Dreams", "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", "English Sunset" and "December Snow".

Their album sales from 1978 to the present are over 60 million. This is the regularly quoted total of their album sales as the total sales of their albums prior to 1978 is disputed due to erroneous record company data.

1974 onwards

In 1974, the Moody Blues decided to take what ended up being a four-year break from performing and recording. Hayward, however, continued working with John Lodge, using musicians and producers from the Moody Blues label, Threshold, and sounding very much like the mother group. Together, they had a hit in 1975 with "Blue Guitar" (which actually was a Hayward recording with the band, 10cc ) and released an album entitled Blue Jays. Hayward has also written four prominent songs with Moodies' flautist, Ray Thomas.

Hayward found international solo success in 1978 when he appeared on the Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds concept album, which yielded his hits "Forever Autumn" and "The Eve of the War". Wayne later contributed to Hayward's 1980 album Night Flight.

During the 1980s, Hayward composed and performed for film and television, including the theme song "It Won't Be Easy" for the 1987 BBC2 science fiction series Star Cops, "Something Evil, Something Dangerous" for the film Howling IV: The Original Nightmare, "Eternal Woman" for She and music for The Shoe People.

In a recent BBC World Service interview, Hayward and John Lodge made it clear they have no plans to stop working and regard it as "a privilege" to still be working in the music industry.

For the most part, Hayward has used a red Gibson ES-335 ("main axe"), though he also uses other guitars in both performing and recording, including a 1955 Martin D-28 "Dreadnought", a James Olssen, Black Guild acoustic, (mock) Squier Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, a blonde Guild open-tuned 12-string acoustic (for "Question"), and in 1967 a black Les Paul. Between 1965 and 1968 he was without his Gibson 335 and relied on other instruments. He has a pronounced dislike for Ovation guitars.

Awards

Hayward was awarded the first of numerous ASCAP awards for songwriting in 1974. In 1985, the Moody Blues picked up the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, and in 1988 Hayward received the Ivor Novello Award, among other honours, for Composer of the Year (for "I Know You're Out There Somewhere"). In 2000, he was one of only a handful of British artists to receive the "Golden Note" award for lifetime achievement by the American Society of Songwriters, Composers and Publishers. In 2004, Hayward was awarded the "Gold Badge" for lifetime achievement by the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.
