It does seem so in demand!

Very true and we all work our balls off each week for a few sheets of it. It is also a very powerful tool and it is made from trees and ink (lots of that sort of stuff about). If our money was not linked to international currencies we could build hospitals and schools out of thin air. Tried to gets a thread going on this but no one could understand what the hell I was on about.

How about the idea of getting away from this paper then?

Sweden was the first European country to introduce bank notes in 1661. Now it's come farther than most on the path toward getting rid of them.

"I can't see why we should be printing bank notes at all anymore," says Bjoern Ulvaeus, former member of 1970's pop group ABBA, and a vocal proponent for a world without cash.
The contours of such a society are starting to take shape in this high-tech nation, frustrating those who prefer coins and bills over digital money.


In most Swedish cities, public buses don't accept cash; tickets are prepaid or purchased with a cell phone text message. A small but growing number of businesses only take cards, and some bank offices -- which make money on electronic transactions -- have stopped handling cash altogether.

Because LJ either those running the place don't understand or they think we can somehow run a country with no knowledge of how it even works.

So they either don't understand or they fail to understand... ? Why the need to make out there are two kinds of not understanding? I don't understand that! Don't you mean "they" where you put "we"?

Because L&F there are many levels of understanding.Can I ask if you don't have the ability to understand that how can it be taught?
