Conversely, only employed are paid any yellow points, the more the higher their class. Their value is different - red points are almost valueless - only basic items like basic food can be bought for them, green points have a bit higher value and only yellow points have real value. 'Argoland' has an awkward monetary system - its currency are green, red and yellow points. This is further true because the economy seems to be centrally controlled government run socialism, that is private property is limited and small private enterprises operate only on the fringes of the general economy. Only people with class between 0 and 4 get any jobs, any promotion is depending on the class more than achievement. The class of a citizen determines what job he gets, and his pay ('red, green and yellow points'). All citizens in Argoland are divided into 7 social classes (numbered from 0 to 6) based on their IQ. The story is set in a fictional 'Argoland'. The book was not translated into English. It is a seemingly free society, which is in fact tightly controlled through a system of electronic biometric ID cards (Keys), censored media and other forms of social control.
