Money is a useful tool for complex societies. It means I don't have to trade a chicken for a bag of potatoes. However, this tool has also been hijacked by those in power to maintain control. In our current system, a box full of rocks painted to look like nickel can have the same monetary value as the actual nickel. See: JPMorgan Had Some Fake Nickel
