Money has its uses, but Uncle Henry is right to ask whether it always helps? There are many circumstances in which we do not use money at all! The very point of a present, for example, is that it is a free gift, even if someone has to pay for it. Work requires a reward, although it is sometimes its own reward as well! So we have to be careful to choose the right times to use money, Alistair!

So we have to be careful to choose the right times to use money, Alistair! Many thangs "have their uses" but that doesn't mean that we use them all the time! There are many things that money cannot do, just as there are many more that only money can do. These ideas about it abandonment with nothing proposed as its replacement, along with ideas about "property" status being abandoned with it simply make no sense; someone has to own and/or be custodian for most things. The notion that anyone would or could be elected to a position that would confer upon them that right to decide who is "deserving" of what and to act accordingly is bereft of all sense, not least moral sense and the only positive thing to be said about it is that it will not happen!

According to those without somewhere to live, property is theft! If you have nowhere to live, it is a powerful argument to make, Alistair!

You wrote "Work requires a reward, although it is sometimes its own reward as well! So we have to be careful to choose the right times to use money"... Interesting observations, in response to which please see the message that I have sent you which I considered best transmitted as a PM.

No sonata either, Alistair? My "? ? ?" response had been (and remains) down to the fact that I really do not understand what it is that you are suggesting; for the record, if it is indeed me about whom you were writing, I have never stated that any specific sum is "insufficient" for the orchestral work for which you're asking and which I am currently planning. Perhaps a PM from you might be in order, rather than conducting these exchanges on the public part of the forum, if that would be acceptable to you (and you also have my email address, of course). I look forward to hearing from you.
