Money doesn’t create value. It
releases it. One of the reasons I am a Universal Basic Income activist is that
people trapped in Financial Poverty lack a catalyst. They have skills,
knowledge, needs, and wants but this is all trapped because we speak with
coins, pieces of paper, ones and zeroes. Pure-play Adam Smith Capitalism pushes
decision making down from central committees to individuals making the choice to
exchange. It is the “tacit knowledge” that is released when a price floats somewhere
between the buyer and seller’s value… so that POP! – value is created in the
swap. Money becomes a lubricant to get the whole process started. Then if some
of that additional value is invested rather than consumed, the person can
gradually be released from imprisoned potential to empowered engagement with
the world.
