money
Money is fine. Financialization is not.
Money isn't really a thing that was invented.
As soon as you assign a value to something then money exists. Notes or coins are just a convenient way to represent that value.

The documentary “Finding The Money” has a takedown of this exact myth (Link to timestamp)
