Re: Economic course by chris Martenson
Ever increasing money is a reality and a principle of the financial system we have.
An example: For my fathers generation it was out of the ordinary for women to work full time, one family member brought in the money alone for the entire family. Today it is has unfortunately become quite standard for both partners to do a regular job to be able to afford a decent standard of living. Maybe not in all families, but it is much more the norm then it was 30-40 yrs ago (not sure about Asia, just talking western world here).
If you think "they" can't print too much money, think about this for a second again. Situations as we have in Zimbabwe have happened all around the world before, will probably happen again.
People normally have a hard time accepting this, but money as we know it is only what we believe it is... as long as we all believe in it. For me it's just figures, if push comes to shove it will be worth nothing - show me a currency backed up by something real.
You really should try to watch these videos if you get a chance.
PS Just saw a report about Indonesia on TV - nice!
Thanks a lot, buddy :shand:
