This is also correct, but a different problem.
If there isnt enough money moving in circulation, it typically means that people are saving it for hardship rather than spending, which is in turn a sure sign of a poor economy.
The rich assholes at the top have been able to basically trust that smarter people will handle policies to prevent a major depression. Anyone that was old enough to remember the last one is dead now. Anyone that lives quarter to quarter doesn’t care about market conditions 90 years ago.
This was exactly my point. Money is real because having a common item that everyone agrees is valuable, which can be used to trade for goods and services universally is a boon for society.
Functionally, it doesn’t matter if money is just some special paper, or a handful of metal discs or some number displayed on a computer screen, even if those things are technically worthless without people to ascribe value onto them.
