I liked your opening here a lot, but by the time you got here:
> Money is an honest, clean signal.
I was lost. Money is neither clean nor honest, because as a signal it is based on a highly non-uniform distribution that arises substantially from processes that are not proxies for "things we collectively want". Markets reflect what those with money want, and while that theoretically could be a good proxy for collective desire, it doesn't take a particular notable GINI coefficient for that to no longer be true.
