    My main point though is why history repeats itself, not why economy mixed with money is evil. Thanks for the reply though, I enjoy reading other views from other people.
    Hey, I enjoy these kind of discussions!

    How I observe money is that it facilitates trade. How can one determine the purchasing power of traded goods? It couldn't be constant because you have to factor in the supply of goods in the areas they live. Some areas, supply of a certain good might be abundent while others it's scarce. How does one establish a scale of purchasing power with millions and millions of possible goods? You'll have individuals refusing to accept goods because they don't need them. You'd have to trade one good, for another in order to get a good you want. That causes some problems. It's a lot easier to hand someone some money, so they can be free to purchase what they need without the hassle of trading multiple goods in order to get one specific good.

    I believe the evilness comes from within ourselves. The desire for excess is what causes problems.
    thcbongman Reviewed by thcbongman on . History repeats because of... ...Economy. I'll give a weird example here with a video game franchise, lets say madden football. They keep making a new madden each year because they are afraid of starting something new and having it fail. They know by making a new Madden game each year they will bring in the profits. Now lets apply this to the economy with history repeating itself. How about holidays? They come around each year repeating itself knowing it will bring in the $$$ to feed the economy. Wars? Wars keep Rating: 5

    Ah yea, economics is one of the subjects I really enjoyed, I like how you can use it as a tool to study human behavior and use it to predict ones desires. Although I'm not very book-smart, otherwise I'd still be in school! I enjoy reading, I don't have the patience for books! But thanks for the compliments!

    P.S. There is no right or wrong, because it's all relative to ones conditioning!
