If you are having a difficult time understanding money. These materials should make the journey a lot easier.

I read the first one, and I think I understand things a lot better now. In fact, I'm inspired! In order to save my fellow man from those evil bankers, I've decided to set up an online trading community modeled on the Social Credit system in the parable.

I'll issue participants each a credit, and then they can use that to purchase goods from other participants, while I do the accounting. That will save them from the tyrannical system forced upon them by the evil bankers.

Of course, I'll need to be compensated for my time and efforts. I don't think taking a small fee, say 1% of all transactions, would be unreasonable, do you? :D

[Rajiv]

Yes a fee for work performed even as a %age of transactions can be justified. For the whole scheme relies upon the trustworthiness of the "Banker." And yes Bankers will always be rich and influential.

However, the killer paradigm in the concept of Usury is "compound interest."

Though, even without interest, wealth will flow to those who have it, and (in an ideal world!) to those who husband their resources, and to those who work for the well being of their society.
