Philosophy, theology, and religion. It's all about placing the highest good as ones aim in life, and consistently pursuing via all areas in life.
He who is Truth, Goodness, and Beauty created all, and in love allows us to be rational participants and continue that work.
All labor and trade ought to be aimed to increase each other in truth, goodness, and beauty. A farmer increases his neighbor by providing sustenance. A plumber increases his neighbor by restoring the neighbor's home to right order or expanding its functions in support of the residents. An employee and employer increase each other by one finding and organizing work that can be done and the other by fulfilling it, profiting them both.
Money being a token of this exchange ought to be very difficult to forge, liquid, and stable in value. Money in its essence is a record of goods exchanged and service rendered, or rather the tokens of thanks offered in return of it.
This is really a religious work, religion being one's ultimate aim in life.
