Aye Giok.

Deal with the problems of NOW. The past is over, and none of us in the "civilised" world have reason to be proud of it.

Politics and Economics are interlinked, NOT interchangeable!!

I repeat, governments must initiate change, and others must ensure the money supply needed to carry them out.

Governments do not, of themselves, have money. They acquire it by taxation, the vast majority of which comes, not from individuals, but from corporations.

But you must have capital to have that money available, or you get the USSR in the second half of the twentieth century.

Five year plan after ten year plan after five year plan, none of which work because there is not the cash available. The Commissars live high on the hog, while the populatio at large barely subsists.
