it's a product of exchange

money is a product of work

no people worked long before money existed

which allows you to make an exchange

Money represents a certain value

I find ti strange to call it a product

because as a product it has no intrinsic value

Gold however does

in this case product means result of

It still just represents a value

you don't have to work for fiat money

A product is something I might like to buy, or not

you can exchange your labours for anything

yes i mean product in that money is the result of exchange

the word product doesn't not exclusively mean the brand name products you see in the store

societies that produced exclusively for use didn't have money

define exchange

I wonder how Marx would feel about that.

and they were also not very efficient at their production

oh work is a form of exchange

durrhhhh

NO

Time > Money > Exchange

exchange would be if property changed owners

@Deleted User The Root is black Stormfront

in primitive societies property was mostly held in common

I just got a G- on that App

by property do you mean land

like when hunters killed an animal the meat was held in common and rationed out

but what were women doing?

Well I question that

while I was hunting?

gathering and raising children probably

I havent seen any evidence the say that is so but it would seem more plausible that it was shared amongst families, or those involved in the hunt or both

Which is why we are called Hunter Gathers

which could be everyone since they were small communities

REEEEEEEE

getting killed by a raiding party from a neighbouring tribe <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
