No matter how you socially construct an economic system, money must be both a means of exchange and a store of wealth or the system disintegrates into a system of barter. When money is not a store of value, it becomes a hot potato that no one wants - the Old Maid card in the game of Hearts. Capitalism, by definition, is not possible in a John Law world where money cannot be used to store value.

this is exactly where i was heading..

then you are suggesting a true barter system????

goods in exchange for goods?

would that not be the most accurate market system as to defining the means of exchange and wealth?
