http://en.m.wikipedia.or...Found the guy I mencioned<br />http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Future_of_Money:_Beyond_Greed_and_Scarcity<br />Would love to read your thoughts on the idea of regional currencies (really regional on a scale of villages or cities) oposed the central banks currencies. The risk ok all the planets money being controled by 80 or 100 people (the central bankers)<br /><br />Now that I've seen that Ron Paul is wrong on the gold standard issue, I feel your country and the world is in trouble, there is no person running for president that can bring us hope of changes for the better...Luís Ferreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657847084544778567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413935813892441553.post-23194849308167138522012-02-18T15:56:28.982-06:002012-02-18T15:56:28.982-06:00most anti-Producer idea in all of history. I got i...most anti-Producer idea in all of history. I got it thank you. Not long ago I have read in the internet a brief history of money, by a belgian guy (I think he was responsable in the 80s for the nacional bank of belgium, cant remember his name...) where he said that going back to egipt 4000/5000 years ago, money was based on the "crop standard" and it devalued from one year to the next because the farmer would have to pay the cost of the place to stock the cereal, the cost of pest control, etc. That made people not want to hold on to money but to some how invest it.<br />Definitely with gold you are mathematically creating artificial scarcity and this makes an evil distribuition of power. 1% will have lots off gold and will stick to it like mussels stick to rocks, and this wont be used to create prosperity for the other 99%. Whats really stupid about the elite is that they also benefit from the prosperity of the other 99%. Imagine people working to cure all kinds of cancer instead of working in a bank (every one would be a producer). How fast would great beneficial leaps in medicine or other fields occur? Don' t the 1% die of cancer to?<br /><br />Thank you, like you promised it really turned out great!<br />Sorry for the spelling errors, I didn't put the text through an online corector, because today I'm using an android tablet and its unconfortable to write and switch windows in this kind of device. A laptop is still MUCH better.Luís Ferreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657847084544778567noreply@blogger.com
