You strike me as someone who is very familiar with St. Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle. I have been meaning to read their work. Perhaps that will help me understand your perspective.

Here is my final thought: I completely agree that what makes money unjust is the justice of the method. Coercive monopoly is what is unjust to me, but I agree that we should strive to make transactions easy for people too. That's asking for a solution to everything now though, and is too difficult, even impossible a thing for people to just suddenly know how to do. It is not unethical for them to fail to do it, in my view. I work for solutions, to things I value, as an individual. I follow the NAP and build a world that's better and gives people lower transaction costs. That's my solution. I don't put it in the realm of ethics. I just make it something I care about and pursue. It is a moral value. Even disregarding this value for other people's wellbeing though, this is what ethical capitalists do. They exclude no one from having the power they need, but rather they create the means for everyone to achieve even greater success at what they value.
