The "Owns What" in your analogy has me confused. Money is potential to receive what but it's not about the "what" yet. Its power is the optionality. If you replace the "What" with "How Much" as in Money = Who Owns How Much Credit = Who Owes How Much To Whom I'd be more satisfied but I would reduce it to Money = Who is owed Credit = Who is owed By Whom If that latter "Whom" can will into existence credit at no cost, you have slavery.
How much of what? If there is a "what" then you "own" that "what". There is also the distinction to be made about when "owning" deserves quotes and when it doesn't. When you own gold that you have in your power, then it is truly yours. Just an example.
