Easier to reason about the externalities of contracts, which suppress all that can't be specified ahead of time or enforced—fluid arrangements, explorations, etc. Money and contracts are compliments.

If property is theft and money is a proxy for barter then what is interest? Indentured labor? OTOH: if we eliminate money's externalities what stops us from working ourselves into the grave?

The ultimate externality of money is that everything that's non-measurable/convertible into financial metrics is an externality. Money is eating its own externalities.
