Replying to LO23595 --

IMHO, money (wealth) provides choices and convenience. Power is an
entirely different class of sociological topics. Likewise, while
profit is measured in monetary terms, profit has little to do with
money. Telling someone the score of a game tells only one aspect of
what happened on the field.

"Money" is a factor in macroeconomic calculations and decisionmaking,
but that too is a different topic.
