As we learn in Economics 101, the two main factors which affect the 
price of something are supply and demand (of course among a whole lot of 
other things).  Demand depends on other people, Supply depends on other 
people.  These are social level things.  These days something which is 
highly valued socially and has lots of $ associated with it can have a 
lot of intellectual quality to it as well (a car for example) or not 
much intellectual quality(a standard pop artists CD).

Yes, $ (society) can value things on the biological, social and 
intellectual levels differently depending on the particular culture.  
For example, prostitutes, presidents and scientists each from their own 
respective levels can be compared equally on the social scale with $.
