The complexity is, to my eyes, the famous curtain behind which the Wizard hides. The complexity is also embedded in or emerges from the fact that <i>the system does not make sense</i>. We have been told, in whispers and via loudly echoing propaganda, that money is a thing, that it is wealth, and that we earn it to live. The truth is the opposite. It is a Nothing controlled by those managing the system they built in their interest, to keep us non-elites in our hamster wheels. Once we can get it through our brain-washed minds that this is a system of control and nothing else we can begin to push for sensible and lasting change.Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258136994278139356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378568575885387942.post-602753591976664782011-09-08T20:10:33.281+00:002011-09-08T20:10:33.281+00:00Another post so soon!

I read this post, without properly understanding, and have just returned to re-read, in the light of Mosler's little book which I have to say is another eye opener. In fact more than an eye opener... revelatory if he is correct, and from his credentials & experience I don't seriously doubt that he is. I still need to think over what he and you are saying - while knowing the very basics that the people "at the top" don't actually acknowledge, or know, the details of the schemes they are running :(<br /><br />Time, time...Timbo614https://www.blogger.com/profile/14671168026195402267noreply@blogger.com
