Money is just a concept. As >>2972 put it (not directly) money isn't worth shit if material isn't backing it up.
So, really, we ARE a resource based economy, and money is just the easy and socially accepted way to get around having to take a cart load of oats with you to the store to buy a tampon.
To put a point to that, think of what happens to the value of Bread when it gets over produced. It goes down. The money isn't worth more, the material bread is worth less. The money now buys more bread than it did because there is a direct relation to there being more bread than there was, and, since the money had to be earned somehow, that earning as an action of selling, working, or money changing had an equitable societal value to that specific ammount of bread, which is now worth less.
