Whenever something is bought, it is also sold.The buyer is saying, “I would rather have what I am buying than money.”The seller is saying, “I would rather have money than what I am selling.”Fair trade.All money itself is and always has been imaginary, only useful as a medium of exchange.
“Live Life not the Pursuit of Material Wealth !”.But what about those who enjoy accumulating wealth just as others enjoy accumulating stamps, rocks, anything?.Some derive wealth from the work they do.Some only do certain needed tasks because of the large rewards. How many competent neurosurgeons would do it for free or even 5 times minimum wage?How many are willing to be prison guards, soldiers, bacteriologists, deep shaft miners, teachers for ANY amount of money?(Sure, some do, but how many wouldn’t, no matter what?)Consider the fact that there are jobs going unfilled because not enough who could do them are willing to do them for what they pay.
