Money just represents tokens to use on our collective pile of goods and services. Growth refers to the rate at which the pile grows, and is largely divorced from money. Money is fake, and the systems behind it's distribution/allocation is regularly gamed for personal gain, in ways that go against the spirit of what money is supposed to represent. Money is an intermediate tool to help keep a track of who put how much on the pile so that everyone can focus on doing what they are good at, and in return, take from the pile what they need, as made by others who are good at other things.

Increasingly we see a problem of people who add nothing to the pile getting large wads of money and taking more than their fair share from the pile. This is a problem.
