"the deepest ideological structure that can be an obstacle with sharing money though is the idea of property. When people don’t actually own property as land (or house), then their money is the property they do have. Property is completely bound up with selfhood (in French you can see the ideological tangle quite clearly in the etymology: the root propre can work as an adjective to mean one’s own or to be clean). Property creates privacy, a sense of one’s self, and it also protects us from the uncleanliness of not owning. Money becomes an object that stands in for this–even as a total abstraction, like a number in a bank account. " -- Stone Telling, aka ghost writer for CAW
