Barter doesn't work.
Or is the doctor paid in chickens going to have the spare time to exchange chickens (hopefully) for bread, or wine or whatever he wants?
Currency gave humanity a means to streamline barter. Then Banksters came along and figured out how to make 'economies' which really means 'figured out ways to accrue all the power by holding as much of the currency as possible.
Civilization on Earth is pathetically behind its potential. I read recently that 90% of the jobs being done by humans can easily be done with machines that currently exist, and be done better and faster. However if we suddenly handed 90% of the jobs to machines how would people earn money to exist (I would say survive but billions of people ain't actually surviving)?
Economy:
noun
2. careful management of available resources.
Free Capitalism is not economic, it does not do anything approaching being an economy as the word is defined.
If anything Free Capitalism is for unsustainable perpetual growth.
“The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.”
Even something as low as 0.5% growth is a fools errand. There is a nice video that goes into the maths and how it works here.
Free Capitalism does NOT work. Great Depression, Great Recession, Housing market bubble and burst, Dot Com bubble and Burst, the Fricken Tulip Bubble and Burst. Inflation, deflation,
Free Capitalism does not work. If it did all the jobs moving out of Westernized countries to third world countries would be seen clearly as a fools errand in the long run because the people who buys your G-D- products no longer have the jobs to buy the crap you make.
US currency is made via debt. A bank gets some money it can loan out more than it has just gotten to make more money. That is stupid.
The US Federal Reserve ain't federal, its a PRIVATE bank...
If Banks understood exactly what they were doing they definitely wouldn't tax their customers, eventually the tax becomes higher than the customer earns, and the bank get nothing.
Free Capitalism is all about killing the golden goose to get the eggs.... That never ends well.
Free Capitalism promotes Planned Obsolescence, promotes forcing people to buy a new cell phone every two years wasting billions of tons of raw resources, the old phones are shipped to some third world country as a 'Donation' because we don't want our toxic trash.
The problem is not money. The problem is the economics of Free Capitalism. The problem is consumerism - we are consumers, we ceased being human beings in the middle of the Last Century - we are useless eaters, only hear to consume, buy, consume, procreate more consumers.
