u wot mate? If that was the case then we would always have had Capitalism, which we've obviously did not. You need a system that supports inserting capital into random companies to get to Capitalism, not (just) currency.
That's not true, currency is an invention, it's not as old as humanity. Primitive agrarian societies (and of course hunter-gatherer societies) broadly did not use currency.
