Articles on Money

Thanks to Ronald for pointing to a very interesting collection of articles on money. More specifically articles about the rarely acknowledged fundamental flaws in this world's money concepts. Lord knows much of it is news to me, and I've studied rather more than most people.

    Thank you very much.
    Not as much time as you might think, I write pretty fast, and only about things that interest me anyway.

    You also write a lot less than I do, it seems. Surely it must help. ;-)

    Would murder me to write those multi-kilo-word missives you spout.

    To me the link looked like trying to find the pea under one of three walnut shells.
    All I had to do was turn around and pull the autographed copy of "Money Mischief," by Milton Friedman off my shelf to remind everyone that a discussion of money can be fun, but trust Uncle Miltie to give it to you straight.

    Fair 'nuff - I found an article on the site because it illustrated a point I wanted to make in the "Money and Interest" discussion. I'm not an economist but think that every attempt to look anywhere else but under that single same walnut shell that's continuously being held under our noses is a good thing.

    BTW, there are heaps more links in that thread, the most interesting of which I found

    Margret Kennedy's free book

    and

    Silvio Gesell's book

    both of which look at the role of interest and what alternatives there are.

    All I had to do was turn around and pull the autographed copy of "Money Mischief," by Milton Friedman off my shelf to remind everyone that a discussion of money can be fun, but trust Uncle Miltie to give it to you straight.

    I had a look at it on Amazon but the impression I got from there is that it is mainly about gold (and silver) backing, and a good read for an economist, i.e. someone who knows the appropriate terminology.

    I guess I've got a bit of a learning curve there...

    Eolake, surely if you're tired of life, there MUST be less painful ways to end it?

    Well, now we know why you post newsletters written by other people on Domai... ;-)
