This is not wrong, and I used to think this way*. But to understand how the world really works, it’s very helpful to understand how money really works, which you’ll never learn from popular culture, popular media, or the prevailing neoclassical economic theory.

*I still do, but I used to, too.

Second link doesn't work for some reason.

All that I have learned and seen of money is that it's a belief system/religion, heck, even the stock market works primarily this way.

I will read the one working link, however.
