Stop and Think.

Try and think when and where and how you became possessed of the idea that money has or should have: an intrinsic value. Then stop andv think over it. Out of your inner thoughts you will discover the error. If I gave you an order on a grocer who owed me for a dollar’s worth of sugar, it would not be necessary to write it on gold or silver, would it? Any slip of cheap paper would do, would it not? It is notthe gold or silver you want, but whafc it buys. Money is simply a government order which all the people- agrees to accept for what they have to sell.. Can’t you get that through your head? 1 The monopolists are doing their best to prevent you from understanding it..—Coming Nation.
