If we’re producing more than ever before in world history,
with technologies creating enough to feed the world, why do we keep getting deeper in debt? It doesn’t take a genius to figure there’s somethng rotten in Washington,DC.
But it’s not the politicians(okay, maybe indirectly), It’s not political platforms, and we’re not going to change it with term limits or creating new political parties. And we’re not going to change it by voting.
There’s one way to bring back freedom in the USA and the world, and that’s by creating an economic system that eliminates the present system based on debt and greed.
I’m not talking communism. I’m not talking socialism or Marxism or any ism. I’m talking about every citizen taking control of his own economic and social values by creating alternative currencies.
I met Tom Greco several years ago when I was editor of an economics discussion group. I helped him promote his first insightful book on money and debt, and I was impressed by Tom’s quiet integrity and deep grasp of the monetary system. This latest book gives the nuts and bolts of economics and lays bare the whole deception set up by our Federal Reserve System. It is written simply and clearly so that you don’t need a degree in economics to understand it. I don’t have any special education in economics, but after an education from
people like Tom Greco, I was able to hold my own in any economics discussion and show the whole deceitful process for what it is.
You want to know all about economics without paying for an economics degree? Get Tom’s book and start changing the world.
MONEY, by Thomas Greco, is one of those books that will cast a light on the shadows of economy as we’ve known it. But as it happens with every time light is cast, other shadowy areas emerge. The dark side of a system which we take for granted. If anyone suffers or has concerns about money, by reading this book it’ll become clear that most people suffer and are concerned about something they didn’t even know what it was. What IS money? Why do we suffer under it? What’s the problem with money? Most of the world uses it today, though few realize that Legal Tender has legal implications, is part of a legal contract which we agree on even though we haven’t even read the large print, much less the small print. By reading MONEY, both large and small print become clear and understandable. This is a book that is both easy to read and easy to understand, and what’s perhaps most interesting, a book which will make us realize that our economic problems might not be our personal fault after all, but rather the fault of a system which was never quite right. Money is a technology with side effects. Poverty is a result of money for money functions under the rule of scarcity. If it’s scarce, it’s more valuable but if it’s too scarce, its function as a `tool of exchange’ does not work properly anymore.
MONEY is the beginning of a long road we have ahead of us. A few aspects, especially at the end, might still be too close to our present paradigm about economy, but this should change as more people around the world experience different systems of Alternatives to Legal Tender and thus see their very lives changed for the better. MONEY is only one step -but perhaps the first step most of us need- in the path towards a more humane future.
