The problem is the story is wrong, and that leads to misunderstandings of what money is and how economic institutions arose in fact vs mythology.

For starters, debt records came before money basically everywhere we have evidence for the invention of money.

i would very strongly suggest reading David Graeber. It completely revolutionized my understanding of how human social and economic institutions emerge and evolve in actual fact vs imagined myth.

We can just tell the real story, it's far more interesting and useful than the myth.
