Markets are an excellent example of how this process works. All are markets, and all are connected. When the job market is bad, then people have less money to invest in the housing market, and the stock market may drop. The Market is more than the supply and demand that Adam Smith so eloquently articulated, although all he described was correct. Markets also transcend every other distinction humans make in describing their interactions.
Money is simply the means to an end.
So, except for those odd characters we call misers, no one loves money, but rather what money can purchase. Women, who often profess not to care about money, generally care about it a great deal, but they offer companionship, sex, sociability, children and other values in exchange for money. The practical nature of home and family was long accepted as simple truth, and efforts to alienate those factors from other equally valid and important factors like love, respect, fidelity, and tenderness is what Marxism is all about. But basic animal instincts and needs are only a small part of what human intelligence can seek. Often what people want is not to receive, but to give, or more appropriately, to interact.
