A.W.

Money is a deviant creation. It’s not a natural creation. It’s a deviant creation. It comes between people who barter real goods, and exchange things. So, the “third man”, becomes the boss, i.e., the guy who gets you to believe that money is the equivalent of what you’re trading. He becomes the boss over you because ultimately he always decides what your [goods or services] are worth. And into that comes taxation; it’s hard to tax grain off of people. And even getting an army together is very difficult to do without money. Money is the unnatural creation itself.
