- bredren 6y agoJoules only do useful work when they are directed by humans. Money is the most quantifiable form of energy we have today.
- EarthIsHome 6y ago> how do you make humans do work? you give them money I don't know if I buy this argument. Think pre-Columbus Native Americans in North America. Members of tribes still did work without money. What about people with the most money? Do they do the most work? We need to define what "most work" or "capacity" for work is. Money is a tool/technology that acts as a bridge between two quantities/qualities. More simple, money is a common means of exchange. Money is only an incentive to work for poor people because they will die without it. But this has to do with the capitalist system we live in, and it is not inherent to money itself.
- duutfhhh 6y agoMoney is when I conspire with a few thugs to block access to the only source of water in town and demand special tokens for access and when people ask where they can get those tokens, I tell that they can earn some by doing some work, like building a house for me or cooking some food.
