Money is another form of rationing, by which one set of people get more than another. Wage struggles are fights to get a bigger slice of the cake. The wealthy are those who have first access to slicing the cake. But neither money nor coupons make any difference to the size of the cake, they are simply means of dealing with its distribution, whether fairly - or more likely - unfairly. So essential is money to the obtaining of goods in a State society, it sounds humorous to say money is a myth -. “I don’t care if it’s mythical, give me more” - but myth it is.
