Welcome to IWETHEY!

New The economic/philosophy term of "Utility" comes to mind.
Money is but one way to measure utility. Many economists (especially the Monetarists) think it's the only reliable gauge. Of course, the concept of money is also very fluid: M1, M2, M3, .... in banking terms, but then there's soft money like stocks, bonds, loans of various sorts... and failing that there's always barter (an ineffecient form of money).
New Exactly
It's often ridiculous to think that way, but economists really try to when they tackle complex issues.

Sadly enough, when things are complex enough that regular intuition fails, the ridiculous way is sometimes also the best way that we have to think about things. :-/

Cheers,
Ben
