What money cannot buy

Some human goods—trust, meaning, intimate belonging, moral clarity, the respect of people you respect—stubbornly resist purchase, and attempting to buy them often corrupts or destroys them rather than securing them. Recognizing this boundary prevents the cascading logic where money becomes the measure of all value and the monetization of remaining non-market domains appears inevitable rather than like a choice being made.
