Conclusion: Capitalism will not work on Atys -- nor should the game be adjusted to make capitalism and the economy of scarcity a viable mode of exchange. This is not socialism, it is post-scarcity society.
The statement, "There has to be a balance between material and money" is an axiom based on the idea that there is an inherent scarcity of raw materials. This axiom is false to fact in Atys and therefore null and void.
There is nothing sacred about the idea of money.
Post-scarcity economies are so different from reality that even those who can accept living on a rootball and casting spells at giant insectoids cannot extend their suspension of disbelief far enough to deal with. It causes problems in the minds of those who think every endeavor has to have winners and losers or a power structure that they can climb to the top of.
Just my two dappers worth.
