Comment on Why is currency so essential?

Modern society is only possible because of global trade networks. Global trade networks would never work without currency. If a person spends all their day fabricating metal sheets they need a way to buy bread to feed their family. Otherwise we’d all be back to farming our lives away.

God? Jesus is that you? Or at least someone omnipotent
You know with absolute certainty the only way people can trade is capitalism?

Trade is not the same as capitalism.

Even in a non-capitalist economy, currency would still make trading easier. It simply might not be exchanging hands between private individuals but between governments.
