Now expand that to a community of a greater population with a greater number of goods/services with different levels of inherent costs.
A fantastic point, that I tried referencing similarly in my post (although I guess I probably didn't type it out with such clarity). I also agree with what you have said, but as I tried hinting with my post, there will definitely be positives and negatives to the whole idea. You've highlighted a fair example of the negativity that could form. I think equality (equality would surely form in areas of society if we all were of the same financial disposition - sure, you will probably still have people thinking they are better than others in intellect or physique, but financial status wouldn't be an issue) is a positive example that could form in a society without money too, though.
