the actual sovereign (is?) money. That's where the power lies, under everyone's consent.

Well, I agree that money is the organizing principle behind our societies today, but I hardly believe that more than a very few provide any meaningful consent to this. Consent has to be informed to be meaningful. I strongly suspect that it is not entirely accidental that there is a pervasive misunderstanding about the nature of money in our society. Few people even understand fractional reserve banking and "loaning money into existence", after all, and that is just the beginning.
