I imagine the issue is more that $ value isn't the measurement that should be used in fact it should be this sort of true value everything can be defined by (idealistic) of which money is a small part whereas what happens is $ is the easiest so we try to put everything in those terms which is a slight falsehood.

I very much imagine that most things do have a monetary value. There was a great line in Mr Robot (bastardisation version) about a date not going well so the man says to the woman this hasn't gone great but if I paid you a million dollars would you come back and have sex with me, to which the woman thinks and says yes. The man replies what about for a dollar? The woman, outraged by this says "What type of woman do you think I am?". We've already established what type of woman you are, now we're just haggling.
