This throws us back on the fundamental weakness of humanity - the quality of desire. Of this money is the result and the symbol... Desire demands the satisfaction of sensed need, the desire for goods and possessions, the desire for material comfort, for the acquisition and accumulation of things... This desire controls and dominates human thinking; it is the keynote of our modern civilisation; it is also the octopus which is slowly strangling human life, enterprise, and decency; it is the millstone around the neck of mankind...<br />There are, however, large numbers of people whose lives are not dominated by the love of money, and who can normally think in terms of the higher values. They are the hope of the future but are individually imprisoned in the system which, spiritually, must end. Though they do not love money, they need it, and must have it; the tentacles of the business world surround them; they too must work and earn the wherewithal to live; the work they seek to do to aid humanity, cannot be done without the required funds. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Alice_Bailey" title="Alice Bailey">Alice Bailey,</a> <i>The Problems of Humanity,</i> p.79/80, (1944)</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Just as money has been in the past the instrument of men's selfishness, now it must be the instrument of their goodwill.

So, if money is the square root of all evil, then we are forced to conclude that greed is evil as well, perhaps even more so, in that it forced us to do math. <br /> But when does the desire to simply possess something turn into unchecked greed?

Congress have established a mint to coin money and passed laws to regulate the value thereof. The money so coined, with its value so regulated, and such foreign coins as Congress may adopt are the only currency known to the Constitution. But if they have other power to regulate the currency, it was conferred to be exercised by themselves, and not to be transferred to a <a href="/wiki/Corporations" title="Corporations">corporation</a>. If the bank be established for that purpose, with a charter unalterable without its consent, Congress have parted with their power for a term of years, during which the Constitution is a dead letter.

It is obvious that as soon as it has been rendered, the evidence of its being due must be given up to the debtor to be destroyed, and it will be no longer current. And if any man can render services to his neighbours, he must in return receive either other services, or the evidence of their being due; and if he renders more services than he immediately requires in return, he will accumulate a store of this evidence for his future wants. ...It is quite clear that its use is to measure and record debts, and to facilitate their transfer from one person to another; and whatever means be adopted for this purpose, whether it be gold, silver, paper, or anything else, is a currency. We may therefore lay down as our fundamental conception that <i>Currency and Transferable Debt</i> are convertible terms; whatever represents transferable debt of any sort is <i>Currency</i>, and whatever material the currency may consist of, it represents transferable debt and nothing else. <ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Dunning_Macleod" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Henry Dunning Macleod">Henry Dunning Macleod</a>, <i>The Theory and Practice of Banking</i> (1866) 2nd edition, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Ul7jgk8ZaYAC&pg=PA16-IA3">Vol. 1, p. 16.</a></li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>One cannot help regretting that where money is concerned, it is so much the rule to overlook moral obligations. <ul><li>Malins, V.-C., <i>Ellis v.

In truth, however, value is here the active factor in a process, in which, while constantly assuming the form in turn of money and commodities, it at the same time changes in magnitude, differentiates itself by throwing off surplus-value from itself; the original value, in other words, expands spontaneously. For the movement, in the course of which it adds surplus-value, is its own movement, its expansion, therefore, is automatic expansion. Because it is value, it has acquired the occult quality of being able to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs. Value, therefore, being the active factor in such a process, and assuming at one time the form of money, at another that of commodities, but through all these changes preserving itself and expanding, it requires some independent form, by means of which its identity may at any time be established. And this form it possesses only in the shape of money. It is under the form of money that value begins and ends, and begins again, every act of its own spontaneous generation. It began by being £100, it is now £110, and so on. But the money itself is only one of the two forms of value. Unless it takes the form of some commodity, it does not become capital. There is here no antagonism, as in the case of hoarding, between the money and commodities. The capitalist knows that all commodities, however scurvy they may look, or however badly they may smell, are in faith and in truth money, inwardly circumcised <a href="/wiki/Judaism" title="Judaism">Jews</a>, and what is more, a wonderful means whereby out of money to make more money. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Karl_Marx" title="Karl Marx">Karl Marx</a>, Das Kapital, Vol. I, pg. 107.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Money, then, appears as this <i>overturning</i> power both against the individual and against the bonds of society, etc.,which claim to be <i>essences</i> in themselves.

Everything becomes sellable and purchasable. Circulation is the great social retort into which everything is thrown and out of which everything is recovered as crystallized money. Not even the bones of the saints are able to withstand this alchemy; and still less able to withstand it are more delicate things, sacrosanct things which are outside the commercial traffic of men. Just as all qualitative differences between commodities are effaced in money, so money, a radical leveller, effaces all distinctions. But money itself is a commodity, an external object, capable of becoming the private property of an individual.

You can run out of it. It wears out. It can get lost or stolen. In the <a href="/wiki/21st_century" title="21st century">twenty-first century</a>, people need a form of money that's more convenient and secure, something that can be accessed from anywhere with a PDA or an <a href="/wiki/Internet" title="Internet">Internet</a> connection. Of course, what we're calling 'convenient' for <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">American</a> users will be revolutionary for the <a href="/wiki/Developing_country" title="Developing country">developing world</a>.

It is called 'Colonial Scrip.' We issue it in proper proportion to make the goods and pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one. In this manner, by creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay, to anyone. You see, a legitimate government can both spend and lend money into circulation, while banks can only lend significant amounts of their promissory bank notes, for they can neither give away nor spend but a tiny fraction of the money the people need. Thus, when your bankers here in England place money in circulation, there is always a debt principal to be returned and usury to be paid. The result is that you have always too little credit in circulation to give the workers full employment. You do not have too many workers, you have too little money in circulation, and that which circulates, all bears the endless burden of unpayable debt and usury. <ul><li>Attributed to <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin" title="Benjamin Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a>'s Autobiography.

The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest, discounts and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprises, the maintenance of stable government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical administration. The people can and will be furnished with a currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity.
