Can we say that money is a heritage of the old feudalism system ?
- Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠) repeated this.

@mangeurdenuage *everything* is a heritage of feudalism, as it came before everything we have now. But money took us out of feudalism.

In some sense your are wright but (for example) democracy isn't something that was legged from feudalism if it was the case some popular revolutions would never have happened.
How can money not be a heritage from feudalism ?
It has always been there even in ancient Rome.
In my view money is an abstract representation of your efforts and so that you can exchange your efforts with anyone.
The system isn't that stupid but when you begin to had a value that is fluctuating it can not sustain.
Why ?
Well because if the the fluctuation can be influenced by a group or someone enough it can destabilize entire countries and more.
Thus meaning that the representation of your efforts are biased and you get less than you should and that also means some people are abusing the system (having more than they should have compared to the efforts made)

@mangeurdenuage "[Money] has always been there even in ancient Rome." So, money is even *older* than feudalism.

@mangeurdenuage I can't follow your train of thought. The unit of accounting has always been subject to the powers that be. Now as in Rome.
