hypothesis for save your money
Answers
Answer:
Money hypothesis 2; a different concept of money
by Paul Grignon, the creator of the Money as Debt Trilogy animated movies.
Abstract
This article will explain the concept of money as time-limited redeemable credits for the
real goods and services it will be used to purchase. This money’s value is defined by the
specific portion of real world abundance it promises, not the scarcity of the medium of
exchange itself. I then provide an outline of how this alternate concept of money can be
implemented in our current situation to produce a liberated, self-balancing global money
and economic system, a system that can adapt to inevitable periods of economic
shrinkage without causing unjust hardship and without passing debt on to future
generations. Focusing on mortgages for real estate, the current primary source of money,
I show how this self-issued credit money system has the potential to beneficially
transform human economic relationships, in addition to ending money system instability.
The article concludes by proposing that this alternate concept of money could very easily
become a liberated global money system. In fact, the process is already underway.
Hypothesis
The current concept of money as a thing-in-itself and especially as a debt-of-itself is
mathematically incompatible with a credit-based economy as demonstrated in my
previous paper, Money hypothesis 1; why our current money system is unstable. The
appropriate replacement is self-issued credit, or “barter credit”, money that is payable in
goods and/or services only. This money can be universally described as a “promise of
something specific from someone specific”, a concept of money that has always existed
as an alternative to “money-as-a-thing-in-itself”.
Money could be defined in value by its redemption in real things
In this concept, all money is redeemable in real goods or services only, within a specified
time. Therefore the holder of money has actual ownership of current or future goods or
services from a specific supplier, measured in a common value unit called “money”.
