@mrundkvist Money is, and always has been (insert astronaut with a gun here), a way to "measure" taxes and, hence, labour. I understood it better when I read about how the first instances of money were account entries in Mesopotamian temples registering taxes in the form of grain, cattle, etc. Currency, the physical expression of money, came later to be able to transport and exchange labor as debt from a place to another.
