How do people (members of trading societies) get money? Do they do so socially–or individually?
I am at the university, here in the library, looking over the shoulder of a young gal shoppin’, apparently. Lookin’ over a list of hotel rooms an’ this gal’s prices are like 6 or seven hundred of the dollar and I be just wonderin’ how persons in capitalism get their money.
Just individualistically or by their social interactions with others? Do you get money by being a socially disconnected person? Is that how capitalism grew?

Good morning, Jack. Here is what I can gather from your post. You are in the library at school, looking over a girl’s shoulder, eye-hustling what she is reading. You see a list of hotels on a page and surmise that she is shopping for a hotel room. Well, an expensive hotel room.
So, you start wondering, among other things I am fairly certain, just how is she going to pay for an upscale hotel room. Where does the money come from.
Where does anyone get money, you ask.
First, what is a trading society? Wait. Give an example of a non-trading society, because I assume you are talking about most people with your broad question.
At any rate, I am not sure what you are looking to answer, because a developed essay based on your premise, thoughts, concerns and conclusion is missing.
Your example of a woman flipping pages in a book does nothing to replace your essay thoughts with meaningful metaphor or accurate picture either, unless something went totally over my head and is now in orbit. Now, this is entirely possible. I mean, maybe it’s me. Did I, when they called “Train!” think they called “Brain!” and missed it?
Am I the only person in the world to miss the bigger picture, message and concise analysis here? Please advise: what, exactly are you talking about.
Finally, warmest welcome to FDL/MyFDL.
I left out about 5 question marks in that comment. Sorry about that.
