"Money" as such doesn't really exist anyway.

Reading John Kenneth Galbraith taught me a lot about capitalism, not least that money is an abstract, a convenience we use notionally for trading materials, goods and services that may or may not exist and which can even be used to buy versions of itself. Think about it: traders ascribe one value to it one day and another the next, often simply because they are feeling antsy. What happened to it between days that made it so different?
