Why is there money?

Question

why cant people just take what they want from the world and not have to pay for it?

Answer 1

In the forest the monkeys just pick up what they want to eat or use. In the ocean fish eat what ever they like to pick up. When there are shortages monkeys fight among each other, so do the fish and the bigger fish eats up the smaller ones. Humans used to live such jungle uncivilised animal kind of life thousands of years ago. But they gace up those animal ways of living gradually and have become civilized. They may not like to go back to the old days of anarchy.

Nothing can be free for all the time. One has to work and produce something before one can take somethng from the society. Money is merely a medium of exchange. How much money one has to spend depends on how much one has provided to the others in the society to earn that money so that he can use the money to pick up things that other people in the society have produced.
