RE: The Story of Money: The Myth of Barter

in #history7 years ago

Lovely post! We all are free to interpret the existence of money the we like, the way we view it and the way it relates to us.

In my own view, money is the force that drives want, man is naturally covetous and the only force that can drive him through such a long road of insatiable quest is money which was the reason behind the introduction of money, take money away and then you realize that life is simple in nature.

It's true that our world has taken a great desirable shape because of money yet we also are being exposed to so many ill 😷 situations that wouldn't have been in place without the force call money, the basic needs of man can be well understood in a world without money.

Thanks you @itchykitten.

Charles Eisenstein proposes that money is sort of the like growth hormone of human civilization to help us through adolescence ...and it's going to have to taper off as we mature into beings that respect their own mother =)
