Not much choice if your employer transfers your wages to your bank account anyway. To get hold of the money, you need to use a debit card, a check, or the service of a bank teller. In all cased, a third party, or several, is involved.

It's a bit like in ancient Sparta, where the currency was mandated to be iron, so that large cash transactions would become cumbersome, and would be very visible.

I don't think gp was talking about not requiring permission ever. He was talking about not requiring permission on a per transaction basis.
