Does this apply if we are talking about prior to 1913? Or what about barter systems? In Jamestown, hemp was currency. So I don't really understand where you are coming from.. I'm talking about ending the federal reserve as one of the first steps.
I say partial adoption of the bitcoin in the US. It would force revaluation of all those fat stacks of cash.
So. Does the current version of capitalism work?? Is it fair? Should it be fair? Isn't the first question the bottom line question?
