    Observable phenomena caused by things that aren’t real. Money isn’t real, but we see it make the world work. It’s powered by collective belief. Magic.

      Money is real. And please don’t waste your time, I know the argument you’re going to make and it’s stupid. It doesn’t matter if it’s based on piles of shiny metal or not. It’s real. You can learn all about it if you want by studying economics. You’ll find out pretty quickly that there’s nothing magic about it.

        Money is a social construct. Money can be real, but only to people who are either so ignorant they don’t understand the issue, or to people who admit that reality is also a social construct.
