Dear Lord. I thought we got rid of this after the Black Death.

This kind of thinking is why I disagree so strongly with economic leftists. They think the world operates on a tangible basis (forget what it's called. speices economy or something?). Thus, there's a limited amount of wealth and therefore the more someone has, the less someone else has. Dark Age thinking. It's like they want the Church to ban interest on loans again.

Money, even gold, isn't worth much. It is the perception of its worth that is important. What's the difference between a $1 bill and a $5 bill: The ink pattern. The differing in perception of value is largely what causes market swings.
