this is a (flat) argument i hear often.

Seriously:
Without a money driven economy, we would not live in paradise at all.
If there where no money, it would be a sign of an undeveloped society.
we would live in Anarchie and Despotism.

Money does not shape a society, But a well developed society
will invent money as a transaction tool.

We simply dont live in a world of 30 people living in isolation and sharing their
villages property. But in a world of 6 billion.
Money is a necessity.

Its different when you say: given our money driven economy, how
can we invent rules, taxation and exchange systems to
keep fair to all participant.
