I've been thinking a lot about this video from Andrewism recently, about how one doesn't really need money for most forms of exchange, except when you're trading with strangers whom you never expect to see again.

Of course, that greatly benefits the ruling class. Rather than relying upon communities and social ties to facilitate trade, they can remove themselves from needing to build trust with those they rule, while still enjoying the benefits of their production.
