I don't think we're so different since the ECB. Money as debt. http://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=-9050474362583451279 They don't lend anything. A 'service' perhaps but thats all and you pay for it. It's an illusion. Smoke, mirrors and interest. But you will exchange your time, the fruit of your labour and real wealth for it. How many of us were told how money works in school? About fractional reserves? Why not? In my opinion it is because Theonomics, like Theology, likes to explain itself to those initiates who choose to invest in it, be it at the seminary or the business school. It dosn't do to have the profane asking to many questions. Very good documentary on the Federal reserve. I don’t think we’re so different since the ECB.

Why people always wanted more money always puzzled me as it always has the ability to be worthless. You'd be better off growing a cabbage and eating it. An unknown promise without parameters.

I must see if I can track down his film. However, I still have a problem with definition of money as debt, unless you can define what debt is. Eolaí -- What kind of promise is it?

However, I still have a problem with definition of money as debt, unless you can define what debt is.

Eolaí — What kind of promise is it?

It's a promise. As meaningful and meaningless as promises are.

-But you promised to let me on the bus
-No I didn’t
-Well Mick promised me you would when I gave him a cabbage.
-Mick’s promises aren’t worth shite
-But he said you promised him you would when he gave you a cup and saucer
