It's a widely known cliche that money is the root of all evil. Even though tyrants in history especially in recent times have all been the biggest money-haters, the mass sentiment of the populace still believes money is to blame for many of the worlds problems. Not only is this plainly wrong, it shows a superficial understanding of the role of money, as well as of evil.
The idea of subjective value has been stated as a principle of economics, though to me, it just seems like some simple common sense stating how every single person is different in what they value. When it comes to making value accessible to the average person, money can be a great equalizer as a medium of exchange. We often hear about the dangers of money being used to corrupt people, but this is beside the point. Money in itself, does not corrupt anything or anyone; surely it's frequently used as a vehicle for corruption, although the people under the control of these means are corrupt to begin with.
What these men seek is control, having the power over others and at any expensive. I think it's completely justifiable to blame monopolies, corporatism, and other State sponsored economic advantage on these domination based range of values. On the other hand, those who truly want liberty understand the importance of the individual having absolute access to economic means in which money can be universally used. It's no coincidence how the controllers push for "cashless societies" and making income widely available, essentially drowning out any real connection and usability toward money. In this type of idealized society, authority in all it's expressions whether through formal credentials, rank, or degrees would become the ultimate gauge of value.
The ruling elite doesn't like a free market of money because they know that whoever controls capital is able to determine how the allocation of goods and services will be provided. If this is taken care of by voluntary means, the State looses what's seen as it's uncanny ability to confiscate the wealth of society to provide for the "greater good". As I have said elsewhere, commerce brings random people together that normally wouldn't associate with each other, to this end creating peace and prosperity; and this is the prime example of how value can be provided by money.
