	OK. Let me translate. People who know fuck about economics and
	are brain-dead statists will enjoy their echo chamber in the
	form of some shitty propaganda written by some
	charlatan-apologist of the banking mafia.

	huh. Any group of people with a minimum of economic organization
	will move from ONE STEP barter, to TWO STEPS BARTER, also known
	as COMMODITY MONEY. 

	This is the sort of fuckingly basic stuff that you know if you
	know economics, as opposed to being some 'academic' scumbag
	writing propaganda for the banking mafia.

	sure. Don't forget that the human race was created by jakobo
	goldam sacks, and rothschild, and moses. 


	buy YES! what you say is so amazingly....absurd and stupid.

	government paper and deby predates market money exactly like
	mcdonalds predates the roman empire.
