Thank You Adam Smith.

Which was fine if the fisherman needed wood, but did not work when he needed fruit. How did it become complicated when money was invented? It seems that it became much simpler. How did it become fixed and closed as opposed to open and flexible?Before there was money, if the person with the fish needed a product he did not have, he had to find a supplier of the desired product that also wanted fish and that lived within the transport distances of the fish or had to go through a multistage process.

The problem was that the ideas in your initial post were almost all wrong, you made no effort to defend them, when the absurdity of the OP was pointed out to you you simply retreated into and even more absurd moral outrage and then tried to defend the idea that you were going to be free from a system you never demonstrated existed or explained how or why such a tactic would be reasonable or desirable.Now you have the chutzpah to come back and post something like: A fine rant! Well, perhaps fine is a little strong. A mediocre rant. And you are right, your posts have been fun.

They don't get what you were getting at because...?The failure is not on their end prophex. You wrote the OP. The statements in the OP were simply wrong. You blamed it all on Adam Smith.Charley don't get mad at others for your failure. You wrote a lousy OP. You had a chance to revise it so that perhaps it reflected what you really wanted to discuss, but you decided not to take that route.The job of getting your ideas across is all yours. No one else can do that. When you start a thread with a rant and a false premise how can you expect to sell your idea?

When you look at "Wealth" in relation to the period when it was written, it was amazing.
