The Importance of Money in Cooperation and Collaboration
Under a capitalist system, humans are able to collaborate and cooperate more effectively because of the existence of money. Money allows for the division of labor, specialization, and trade, which leads to increased productivity and abundance in society. The capitalist system encourages individuals to focus on providing value to others and to think beyond their own immediate desires. By engaging in trade and serving others, individuals are able to secure the things they want and need more effectively.
