Me, I'd uninvent the concept of money as a trading means. (ie: I can't make a product, so I'll give you this paper stuff, that used to be representative of this silver or gold stuff, that most people agree is pretty shiny and therefore pretty neat, but since I don't have any of the neat shiny stuff, I'll give you this paper instead. I didn't actually make the paper, either, you understand. Someone else did and told me that it is equal to that much of that shiny stuff, so it's all good, right? You take this paper, and I'll take your product, and we're good.)
