Interesting observation given that your own wealth is managed this way.
Whether its the simple bank deposit in a checking account, if you've ever chased an interest rate for a savings account, or had your earnings managed in a retirement account from your employer, or if you attempted to make money faster because a debt was coming due.
Its all tied together and a product of this system.
The goal is to keep money moving within the economy, as people also race to hoard it.
