some people internalize ideas that lead them to commit suicide, and those type of problems afflict rich and poor people. So, having internalized wrong ideas does not cast doubt on what money is. rich people can internalize whatever they like, but the money they control allows them to effect more changes to society than the money controlled by people with less and in proportion to the amount of money, whether they are investing for the future or simply consuming today. it is inescapable what money is measuring, and the rubber meets the road as to how you measure your values in how you allocate your money resources too. you are putting a lot of adjectives on things like "predatory"; money is neutral in this regard. How much does society value health care vs food? Just how much is spent. I'm not telling you anything about what to think, I'm just telling you what money is.
