The problem is that money is now immaterial, numbers in a computer somewhere, but we live in a material world. Imagine your city desperately needs to build a new subway station or hospital. It has the civil engineers, the architects, the machinery, the materials and the workers but if there is no money, nothing will get done. How absurd is that?

Money should not be a problem if it's aligned with the reality of our physical world and its limits.

But the resources of the world are being wasted on multiple levels because there's "good money to be made" while important needs are not addressed.
