Re: Video: Global Capitalism: January 2016 Monthly Update

A great video series. I never miss an update. Wolff is a wonderful speaker and I am so glad he is sharing his perspective and experience with the world. I do wish that he would focus more on the monetary policy that produces the sick results in our society. I hope one day soon he recognizes the need ...

Bitcoin is the Beginning of the End of Money

While bitcoin is a better money, it will never solve the problems caused by money. Since money has always been nugatory, the transformation of the concept into mere information will begin to erode the superstition and false authority it has enjoyed for this latest period of humanity's history ...

Re: No such thing

A market cannot exist without the state it creates to protect itself from reality. The imposition of artificial scarcity ensures that conflict and violence emerge and that the market will fail without the imposition of order from a third party.

Re: No such thing



Any arbitrary rule that market participants agree to follow.

Re: Is Money the same as Currency?

Money is an idea. An illusion that distorts human values towards destructive and deadly ends. It is something we should have abandoned long ago in favor of reality.

Re: No such thing

It is an oxymoron. You can't have freedom and simultaneously be bound by the artificial rules of a market. It is self contradicting.

Can you give an example of the artificial rules you are talking about? I want to understand what you mean.

Thanks

Re: Feature request

In connection with the $1000 give away, I suggest some type of per-post thumbs up or +1 button to show "appreciation".
