"money" does not take care of any person or anything. Money is an imaginary construct. What does take care of every person is all those people doing work and generating things we need, using the natural resources.
Even 100 people can take care of themselves if they are on land that grows, without a single dollar or even the concept of dollar in existance.
Yes, money does not create wealth. However, I don't think that money is an imaginary construct. Money is the tool for co-operation (division of labor). It enables people to exchange goods and services efficiently.
Current system has created a corrupt form of money. The last real money was - and still is - gold (and silver).
Money has no value if you have noting to buy with it.
Yes, that’s true in a sense. In practice, there’s always something to buy.
On the other hand, money itself needs to have value. Otherwise no-one would accept it as a payment.
Printing currency does not create it.
