Where does our commitment to today's "money" system come from?
Here's a historical warning from one of the early founders of the u.s. ...
In light of the present financial crisis, here's an interesting quote from our historical leader Thomas Jefferson from 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'
-How does this historical comment relate to us today?
-Is it prophetic, or just plain obvious?
-Does it feel right or wrong, on or off?
-How does it address the 'models' that were created back then in order for us to manage how we trade with each other; otherwise called 'money' and 'economy' (which by the way, are two very different animals.)
