Simplified Meaning:

People around the world use money because everyone agrees it has value. Imagine you can’t speak the same language as someone else, but you both know that money can buy things. This shared understanding allows people to trade goods and services easily, even if they don't know each other. For instance, if you walk into a store, you trust that your money will be accepted in exchange for groceries. This system saves time and energy that would otherwise go into bartering or negotiating. To apply this idea in daily life, recognize that money facilitates trust and cooperation between strangers, making our complex economy work smoothly.
