Replying to Avatar Nullifier

I guess my contention is that there's a distinction between buyer and seller and they cannot be mutually inclusive. I feel that the seller always receives the monetary good and buyer takes the consumer good.

If no distinction between the two exists, then money doesn't exist.

I should check with the Austrian perspective on this.

Appreciate your civility nonetheless. 😎

It's not always the case. I have to pay rent to my landlord, so it's perfectly valid to say that I have to buy dollars from my employer in exchange for labor so that I can sell them to my landlord in exchange for housing.

The commodity used as money has no special status besides being the most saleable good in this situation, a medium of exchange that everyone involved is willing to trade other goods for.
