    Money predates capitalism. The reasons why it was originally invented remain. Once your favors have any complexity at all, someone’s going to have the obvious idea of “why don’t we abstract this?”

      Money does predate Capitalism, correct. Never said it didn’t.

      Read the text I linked, you’re assuming I am referring to an anarchic system of favors and not a system where the government produces and provides pretty much everything via planning.
