A seventh dimension is societal change. Money is still a social construct representing what a society values. It is endogenous to that society, it manifests because of human relationships, and it adapts to evolving human needs. “You can’t take the social out of money,” said Izabella Kaminska of the Financial Times. “A lot of these protocols attempt to do that by creating an absolutist and very objectified system. It just doesn’t reflect the world as it is.” She pointed to the euro system as an example of how one size—one set of protocols—doesn’t fit all countries.
