This website is build to create a space where we, the people can talk about what the money is and how we should use it in our social relations!
Let's the talk begins!
First we should say what money is regarding current economic paradigm. So here it is:
Medium of exchange
Measure of value
Store of value
And yes, this all seems pretty easy to comprehend for now! But let's dive a bit into it and see is it like this!
Let's now assume what this function stands for:
Easy exchange what you produce (goods and/or services) for other goods and/or services
Compare different goods and services' value
Preserve goods and/or services for future consumption
All sound great! Well, somebody would ask where is the problem that I'm talking about?
The problem is not easily identified. It gets even more interesting!
Actually, there are at least two problems that we need to discuss!
First is inflation
Second is interest
Why are these an issue?
Inflation practically devalues money. Why? Just because someone decide to print more. But is this normal is the question? Why we do need more money? Why should we stab ourselves in the back like this? We will answer those question down-here
Interest is an instrument to make money with money - without creating goods and/or services. Here the question is: Is this something contained in the function of the money?
As we see the answer is simple - NO it isn't!
Now let's jump in the in the deep pit of this financial riddle!
The purpose of money's sole existence is to easily exchange of goods and services among the people in a given society. As the world is Global village (Marshall McLuhan) we will describe the idea from this point of view. As we mention above, in a village the money is something the villagers needs so they can smoothly exchange goods and services. If we present this village as one human body, what is the money corresponding to. Looking at our bodies it isn't hard to point out that the blood seems to fulfill that role. In our bodies (the most perfect divine creation that we have full access to) blood transports everything produced by the cells to by every cell in need of it. So let's metaphorize money into being the blood of the social body and compare the way the body uses it to the way people are using the money.
By the way, you can argue this and all other statements in the discussion forum below!
I will stress on the big differences:
Produce more blood - inflation.
Stoping blood so to have access to more blood - interest.
Can a cell/organ of the body stop blood from flowing and receive more blood for that (interest) - No. We all know that if this happens, our body fails to keep us alive.
When does the human body produce more blood (inflation)? The body produce more blood only when the body grows so every cell can be reached while blood pressure is kept as needed. With inflation is not like this. The system prints more money because someone has stopped some money from flowing and we need more to "fulfill the social body with this energy".
I can give more evidences but it will be a copy of something already developed by Austrian School of Economics and called Interest and Inflation Free Money.
The Idea of this website is to promote this view of money, discuss it, improve it if we find ways and promote it among people.
If we find ways to promote it to the people, we can push the social servants (the governments) to integre it!
And because someone may say that this is only a theory here is a link to Google search about and real implementation/experiment of it click here. You can also take look to Bank Wir in Switzerland. A bank that utilize this idea from 1934 till now!
Let's educate ourselves and our youth towards a transparent understanding of finance and change the perspective of future generations so a competitive environment based on fairness and honesty is established. Money is an energy, we need to stop putting it on a pedestal of importance. We need to sotop making money and start using them! Then, we can reach a checkpoint of financial freedom and connections that have long waited to be developed.
