[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] MONETARY: The unpayable debt
The following might be useful for those explaining the money system to neophytes. >From engineer Theodore Thoren, from a study he did after he retired as veep of an aerospace firm. excerpt Historically, usury has been defined in terms of excessive interest. The Truth In Money Book defines usury qualitatively, rather than quantitatively. Usury here then, is unmonetized debt --- the debt that really is mathematically impossible to pay for the simple reason that the money needed to pay this debt does not exist. The only way to get more money into a debt-based system is to borrow. Of course, this doesn't solve the problem. It ultimately makes the problem worse. http://www.algaoaktree.com/SpaceAge.htm What is interesting is that official documents, such as Modern Money Mechanics by the Chicago Fed, will back up the claims central to the math i.e. of how money enters the system as debt. rgds Dan Parker www.socialcredit.com
