Whoever first came up with the idea of money must have realized that money would not only symbolize the value of objects but that inevitably it would also prove the value of people, sine people could only obtain that proof by dealing with one another. Such values may be illusory, but they are values commonly agreed upon and so function as facts. The knowledge that others exist to produce things for you is a way of knowing that they exist to produce you, and you them. All over the world, these acts of reciprocal production are sustained by money, which moves through the populations belonging to no one and everyone at once, hard, soft, old, new, trying billions of people together in an ancient arrangement that has kept the earth spinning like a coin.
