The quantity of money that one perceives that one needs grows as the quantity of production increases. Excessive production in a modern economic system results in more and more things that a human believes necessary for the fulfillment of their life(style). This makes whatever amount of money they have seem diminished. This need for more money makes the quantity of money its increasingly important quality. Every entity is reduced to an abstraction and every dollar is reduced to a quantitative entity. The only true standard that remains for money, is excess and immoderation.
