Breaking The Money Myth: Rethinking Value, Exchange, and Equality

An Economy That Cannot Function Without Money Will Not Work for Anything Else

Coming to terms with the role money plays in our lives is challenging for most people. But the difficulty doesn’t end there.

We have come to value money not just as a tool, but as the benchmark by which we measure everything in life.

This leads us to a deeper truth—one that must be faced, rejected, and overcome: an economy that functions for money, with money, or through money cannot, will not, and does not work for anything else.

An economy should always serve People, Community, and the Environment. These are the only foundations that truly support a good life and foster genuine equality for all.

Most people instinctively reject the idea that any form of economy or trade could operate without money. This reaction stems not from truth, but from habit. We’ve grown so accustomed to money being present in every transaction that we take it for granted—not because it’s inherently necessary for exchange.

The reality is this: an economy designed for the people must be capable of operating without money, currency, or any medium whose value can be universally—or nationally—controlled or manipulated by external parties.

Instead, value must be determined solely by those directly involved: the buyer, the seller, and the facilitator (or a community body that sets local trade rules for the exchange of essential goods and services).

This doesn’t mean money or currency must be eliminated entirely. Rather, it means that their value must remain free from inflationary or deflationary forces.

Any variation in exchange value must reflect only the true worth of the goods, services, or contributions involved.

The Moneyless Economic System

The essential shift—both in action and mindset—is from a system where money is required in every transaction, to one where the exchange of life’s necessities does not inherently depend on money at all.

One of the fundamental truths of our world is that not all things are equal. However, the way we treat people and the planet should be equal and fair for all.

It follows, then, that money—or any form of currency used as a medium of exchange—should not be governed by a universal benchmark, especially when that benchmark can be manipulated by a powerful few to serve their own interests.

It is normal that we all contribute work to meet our needs. Therefore, the things we need should be accessible to everyone, based on the value of what they can offer through their work.

The imbalance in this equation today arises not from scarcity, but from the greed of those who control access to what others need.

This imbalance is reinforced by systems of privilege, power, and the illusion of ownership that steps beyond the requirements of genuine personal need.

Money IS The Greatest Crime of Our Time

Money Is the Only Bubble

The money used to acquire assets, fund lavish lifestyles, and build business empires—ultimately shaping the marketplace and its problems—was never real.

It was a construct, a fiction sustained by systems designed to benefit a few at the expense of many.

From the manipulation of legal frameworks to the invention of financial instruments, the expansion of credit, and the unchecked printing of currency, this entire process amounts to a crime against humanity.

What makes it even more tragic is that many of its architects believed their actions were morally justified simply because they were legal.

This illusion of legitimacy has allowed the system to flourish, while millions suffer consequences so distant and abstract, they’re barely recognised as harm.

Excess is only possible when a system enables it. But the existence of such a system does not make its outcomes just. Those who have gained from it are not necessarily right—only advantaged by a structure built to serve their interests.

Money Isn’t Real—and It Can’t Be Permanent If Life Is to Be Fair

Money lies at the root of nearly every problem society faces today.

The relentless pursuit of more—more wealth, more control—has become a corrosive force, infiltrating every corner of life.

So deeply embedded is this obsession that many no longer recognize how money has replaced meaning as the dominant value system.

But money is not natural. It never was. It’s a human invention—an abstraction—designed to facilitate exchange, not to define worth. And yet, it has been deliberately shaped and deployed in ways that make it appear inevitable, even sacred.

To treat money as permanent is to elevate illusion over reality. It distracts us from what truly matters: relationships, community, creativity, and the tangible richness of life.

Money is a symbol, not a substance. Mistaking it for something real is like confusing the map for the terrain—an error that leads us away from what is essential and toward a world ruled by shadows.

Redefining What Things Are Worth

Many political groups, movements, and activists advocate for wealth redistribution as a path to restoring fairness in society. But there’s a flaw in what may seem to socialists like an unshakable argument: the money we use today is only worth what people believe it to be.

The deeper issue lies in how we assign monetary value to everything outside ourselves—objects, experiences, even property.

These values are rarely based solely on the intrinsic worth of the item. Instead, they’re shaped by layers of influence: creators, suppliers, marketers, and increasingly, intermediaries who add nothing of substance but inflate the price through financial manipulation.

This simplification—that everything has a financial value—makes it easy for anyone involved in a transaction to feel they’ve suffered a loss simply by paying too much or receiving too little.

Our relationship with money encourages a constant craving for more: more income, more for what we sell, more for the work we do. More becomes a measure of superiority.

Somewhere along the way, the line between reality and illusion blurred. We moved beyond what we need into what we want and were actively encouraged to do so by a system that insists it’s not just acceptable—but admirable—to want more.

Money has become the default value system, replacing ethical and moral principles. Even laws—once meant to reflect justice—are now shaped to serve the interests of lawmakers and their benefactors and are deemed moral simply because they are legal. These laws underpin the financial mechanisms that justify explosive inflation and guarantee profit, even when the cost to consumers exceeds what they can reasonably afford.

The truth that’s long been overlooked is this: money has no inherent value. Its worth exists only in relation to what it can be exchanged for. The things we truly need have been repurposed—not as tools for living, but as instruments for generating profit.

To build a fair and equal society, we must reject the illusion that our current relationship with money is real or necessary. We must erase the financial values imposed on every tangible thing and release ourselves from the grip money holds over our lives.
