Always fantastic to see someone standing up for basic economics here! My favourite tech-communicable way to consider it is this: Money is like 'points' for prioritising the way people/resources are allocated in the world, somewhat like agile/scrum planning poker. If you give everyone cards with larger points values, you'll still get the same amount of work done in a given sprint, it's just that you'll get an inflated 'sprint velocity' (eg story points implemented in a fortnight). Apologies if i've explained this poorly!
