"Confusion of Tongues" as Currency Collapse

"Currency" is that which circulates

Language is currency, it flows between people, it builds trust, a "man's word" is his trustworthiness, his creditworthiness

Currencies collapse when they're debased

Languages apparently collapse when you try to build a tower to the heavens and God decides to confuse the tongues of the nations

I wonder if these two are actually related

Michael Hudson probably has some thoughts about it
