  Then let me attack it from a different direction: can you have power in a society that does not have money?

    Within that isolated society? Sure.

    If your goal was to argue semantics then I don’t know why I’m entertaining this. Yes, in an imaginary society that is 1) somehow not influenced by modern society and 2) somehow also avoids currency - power dynamics will obviously take different shapes.

    Do you realize how meaningless that example is?

      I’m working outword to find a path in.

      If a society can have power without money, then can the two overlap perfectly in any society?

      To use a more concrete example, how do unions ever have power in our society? They tend not to have money, or at least very little in proportion to the business owners.
