The economy is us. The economy is how we express our needs and "haves" at scale. In smaller settings - family, friends - you can often just communicate the needs/haves directly, but anything beyond that needs some efficient tool. Now the current system how we do banking, money, who decides, etc... that's indeed broken at the very foundation.

On the flip side I can wholeheartedly recommend the Margaritaville episode of South Park! Such a beautiful satire.
