Money..In my opinion is the most influential thing in the world.
It influenced wars,murders and other serious crimes.
Only one thing. Why was it created?
So what? Only for individual progress?
Also..What if money was not made?
It has divided quite frankly the whole human race.
If it wasn't created do you think we will all live together in unity? or in greediness?

Money was invented to replace the barter system, money establishes a standard for everyone that keeps prices in different areas relatively similar. Having a standardized currency enables the government to tax effectively as well, because it is standardized.
Even when the barter system was used people were still greedy, greed will never go away, it is a part of human nature to want more.

Nope, because then we'd be back to bartering services and goods. We would still be just as greedy, although the barter system would force more amicable social interactions. My primary complaint with a monetary system is that it replaces the need for interaction.
If I need some vegetables I just go to the store and buy them, but without money I would have to go to the farmer that grew them and work out some way to pay him for them. This causes a social bond and strengthens the ties in the community.

Money itself is only a 'substance' it doesn't actually exist. It is not in reality money that is influential, but what you can do with it. Though there are some people that only wants money (such as mr. Krabs) in real life what people wants are the thing that you can buy with it.

Yes it did, to some extent.
Only one thing. Why was it created?
To replace the barter system, to have an established standard so that it can be handled much easier. Pretty much what Logan said.
So what? Only for individual progress?
Not really, it was invented for unity purpose.
Also..What if money was not made?
One major fact that would happen is what MRWalker said. But due to this, probably our current economy would be much more complex!

Like what I said money in essence does not exist, it is just say-an easy to carry what we had worked for sort-of thing. We would still live in what we do now.
money was invented to give, a valor to something, if a worker work with no reward, he will stop... this is the only reason
"Nice car...I will give you two cows for it!"
Unless of course he is suggesting communism, as he seems to be. But even in that case, you think there won't be greed? You can steal items no matter what they are. You can murder people and loot there house. The people who did this could easily triad the money in for things they need or want.
Of course that is just a semi-rare hypothetical assumption. Go make a true communist country and we will see how it goes.
money, like other things, was created to make a standardised unit of wealth, lite feet, inches, metres, seconds ect......
it makes EVERYTHING to do with marketing easier, and it did make wars, as much as pre-money era did, people will fight for what they need, if they need money, some will fight for it, 3000 years ago, people would attack Rome just to plunder it. Money has not divided the world, nor has it had a negative influence on the world
In my opinion
