Money is not a human work equivalent. Money is a commodity that everyone will barter with. Making bartering more efficient.
With pure barter you have to do something like: work -> stuff1 -> stuff2 ->stuff3 -> stuff you want. With money this usually becomes work -> money -> stuff you want.

This makes the assumption that all work is equally valuable. But you already made the assertion that a manager sitting around is not as a miner.
