Gosh dang'
roachboy, how can one with crude gestures argue with one so well spoken, I'll try though.
I disagree, for some reason exchange is important to us. The reason the aristocratic system is not very prevalent nowadays is because no matter what I did I could never be the same as you, simply because you existed, made you better than me. All you had to do was be BORN!! That may be irrelevant but in some unclear way it makes sense to me to have money around.
Land, on the other hand is scarce. Sure, we have plenty of it in the sahara but..... To me, money is an equalizer .... scratch that ... a scale. I can be better than you as long as I have it. Or I can use it to buy my equality to you. Money is a universal enabler. We need the value instilled in it in order to develop.
