@Eldorado-n9e Using resources in the most economic way is good? As many ways as you can define good I wonder if somebody could define bad. Money what is wrong with it? All money is debt, at a cost of four cents per hundred dollars to create. We pay it back with our lives full value and because we are a debt based society, money doesn't build up and taxes make money disappear, so for new money to always enter the economy new loans need to be entered into. The world had 400% population growth the last 80 years and it will be lucky to be 40% the next 80, growth has effectively stopped in 23 countries as they will lose half their populations by 2100, China one of them with 600 million. The problem with money, something I think originated when the Pharaohs used to tell the people that the flesh of Ra fell from the sky and if you bring it to us, so we can also be gods with masks, we will give you a donkey or extra sheaf of wheat, is that money is a ticket to energy that is running out and we can't use what is left. Banks, central or commercial being able to print money, at such a low cost, and that the loan must return to zero and that as long as you have money/holding debt, you believe the power of it will continue, then everything will be alright. Debt is only issued on the ability to pay it back, every single dollar you have worked for is banker debt, it doesn't infer value to society, it just means as long as you can meet needs, wants or desires, no matter how perverse then people will give you what they don't understand, money. I guarantee if I ask most people around me they will think money is like the old standard and that money builds up and it's just a case of getting some, most people think taxes pay for current spending, that govts need it to survive. The problem with debt always wanting to return to zero is after everything has been built, every loan paid back, there will be no money and what have we built, to me it looks like nothing sustainable, no real value of money just some carry on from gold. Money being one of humanities greatest inventions when it will soon lose value if we are to cut emissions 50% in the next five years to reach 1.5, or if we keep going will lose all it's value means I'd put the wheel above money, even a boomerang, you know what even a plastic swizzle stick because it's one of the 6000 products that come from oil, if that oil goes money goes with it and we are back to living with horses. The best thing about money, is that it is just based on belief, and the knowledge that it doesn't really matter what we do as long as we have a means of exchange for goods and an accounting system, we can limit over consumption, which gets back to what's wrong with money, being able to consume as much as you want based on how much money get's printed by bankers and govts you wouldn't trust any other time, has issues, then when we get told that is the only way to get food etc, or you die, is if you hold banker debt, that can have issues that probably do need to be rectified.

All money is debt that hasn't inferred any long term value and it all returns to zero and most people not understanding money is debt and taxes make money disappear are a couple of problems
