We don’t mean, of course, they don’t know how to earn it, or how to spend it, or how to enjoy it when they have it. We mean that they don’t know where most of it it created — although they think they do — or how our money system really works. Actually, nothing could be easier to understand than money. One of the ancient and uncomplicated inventions of man, it was born of necessity. It serves a simple purpose. Yet over the centuries it has been the subject of more confused thought and writing than any other man-made object. The heart of our money system *is faith. We don’t usually think of that. When we barter the products of our own labor for bits of metal or printed pieces of paper, that are in themselves worthless, we are expressing nothing more or less than faith. Money has value only so long as you and I believe that it has value. It is very convenient. It is a useful fiction in which we all agree to believe. We can’t eat money, sleep on it comfortably, nor wear it. But we can trade it for these things, as long as others believe in its value. The moment we doubt its value, the value disappears. Some people think that it is gold that makes a dollar valuable. Actually, most dollars are nothing but credit money — “faith money.” For more than 30 years the U.S. currency has been all “lOU’s”. The same is true in most other countries, too. Money is an agreed-upon symbol of a certain amount of value, representing work done. Stores, manufacturers, laborers, set the value of their own work in “money,” or in dollars and cents. Since each of us is a specialist, we trade our specialty for the specialties of others through the medium of money. No longer is it necessary to be a jack-of-all-trades. By specializing, becoming an expert, you can make more money, and earn more in terms of goods and service, than if you tried to do everything yourself. Money is vital Suppose, as a nation, we had no money, or exchange medium. How would we exchange goods arid services. Each person would have to write out what he had done, and exchange this with another; counterfeiting of work credits would be very easy. Chaos would result. -—— The supply of money is another problem. When the money supply, or credit supply shrinks, “tight money” results. It can greatly intensify a depression period. On the other hand, too much money leads to what is called “inflation”, meaning that the amount of goods and services received for a unit of exchange, like the dollar, goes down when more money is created. Since World War II the supply of money has greatly increased, and value of the dollar has been cut in half. You and I are vitally concerned with the relationship between our pocketbooks, ourselves, and our prosperity. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.
