In fact, most goods and services in our modern economy are priced based on monetary value. Let's look at some examples of resources, goods, and services priced by monetary value:
Commodities, such as precious metals, agricultural products, oil, gas, and other natural resources
Tangible property, which is really any physical man-made thing, such as a computer, pencil, and art
Intangible property, such as patents, literary rights, and publishing rights
Land
Certain legal property rights, such as gas, mineral, oil, timber, and water rights
Services
Labor, such as wages and salary
And businesses
If we assume a perfectly competitive market and no government intervention on price, then we can say that the monetary price of a resource, good, or service is determined by the market according to the law of supply and demand.
My house is worth 5000 hours
My 1OZ of gold is worth 300 hours
My chair is worth 30 minutes
My back message for a hour is worth 1 hour
You want to work for me on my farm? instead of me paying you 14$ an hour (min wage here), I pay you 1 hour an hour out of my duration I have accumulated via a time banking system. You are doing a good job and want a raise after 3 months ok I will pay you 1 hour and 30mins per 1 hour you work.
I know it is scary at first, you never seen the light, you will come out tho and enjoy your new freedom soon enough.
