Money is information about how a group of people wish to allocate resources (material and labor). Capitalism casts money as a resource of its own, which is also a lie.
Bingo! Money is a unit of measurement, but it's the only unit of measurement that we can buy. We can buy a kilogram of potatoes or a meter of cloth, but it would be ridiculous to just buy a kilogram or just a meter. And yet, I can promise you $120 Monday if you give me $100 today, which means I can buy a dollar.
