I think the blame on money is misguided (though fiat is nonsense), as people are confused as to its tool-like nature. They don't consider that without money, their lives would be far harder, especially if they have to trade their skills directly - and most people don't have tradeable skills, they have collaborative skills that require working with others for the outcome.
Yet, I don't like how so many people seem to think that they are above money, as if they don't need it to be happy. Technically, none of us do, but try living without it practically, and most will realize that life isn't easier, or better.
