Money and Wealth related to Society
The meaning and purpose of money relates to the kind of society using it.
Anarchistim based on the individualist society is merely an aggregate in individuals. It is virtually certain that wealth will be measured in terms of money, with everything having a price. That price may have little or nothing to do with the real value of ‘goods’ to society as a whole. Hedonism will have a value that may outbid anything of moral or environmental value.
For a mutual society money is merely a convenient way to transfer wealth from one part to another. Real wealth that is moved is not lost but put to another use to benefit the whole mutual society. Wealth is owned and shared by society. Anything that is destructive to society will be seen as negative wealth – a loss.
For a unitary servile society, money is merely a convenient way to allow the population to serve its purpose.

You see, in devious divination it may be given otherwise. For, being a maker of countries is no aim in the future, and no having of money.

Being civilized is worth more than having training manuals on the habits of the civilized. Being may be regarded, generally, better than having. However, so far as the university or corporate societies believe in the greatness of the mystical construction of universities or corporations above all else, their brilliance is obscure in the sea of barren vastness of reality. Since, what matters most to them, is not, as one may think, the owning of anything, but, rather, the making of the non-sovereign countries or universities and corporations. Owning stock, it must be pointed out is not owning firms. The stock can only be sold, so that another will take one's place in support of the non-sovereign country of the corporations and universities.
