Someone has to manage the investment of all resources, Jim, and that lies at the heart of the science of economics. Investing capital is just a methodology of moving the ownership of one resource to someone or something else and that, at present, is done using the concept of money. Unless that was abolished we will always be reliant on capital investment and, just at the moment, I cannot see a viable alternative to the use of money. I feel it is the unregulated use of capital and making of too much money simply by investing that needs more consideration and there does seem to be a movement of responsible and ethical entrepreneurs. I could be wrong of course but maybe the Tory party making the right noises at least is an indication that they are beginning to realise this. Hence the thread.

As to the other topic, I was just defending myself from the suggestion that I had made something up or, even worse, was hearing voices that told me things!
