whats wrong
1. It is illegel for one. You are dodging taxes. If I take 50 tons of brass and swapped it for a brass shredding machine, I have to pay taxes on the bartered value and so does he. Money is the paper trail.

2. I do quality workmanship out of pride and charge for it.

3. Pride and workmanship is an individual thing. There are plenty of hamhocks to go around.

4. See rule number 1 and don't get caught.

5. Making friends is another individual thing. Friends of mine draw an income.

Plenty. As societies become more complex value has to be represented by the points system. Capital.
