I have a plan to help our movement. If we do not figure out the money problem, the Jew will sneak back in and shackle us again. This is non trivial stuff. England is an example of the Jew sneaking back in. The Jew was kicked out of England in 1290, as he had been using his usury mechanism to take land. The English of the time called it putting land to land. The original Magna carta talks about the Jew problem, which is really a usury problem. When the Jews were kicked out, they were allowed to take their gold and silver with them.
There are probably only a few hundred people in the world who truly understand money, monetary history, and economics - and I'm one of them. This is a burden not necessarily a blessing.
Getting back to England. Kicking out the Jews then collapsed English money supply as the Jew was allowed to take his gold and silver with him. The King then issued Talley sticks. The sticks were payment for services rendered. Think of it like this, the private sector creates goods and services for the King, and he pays them. At end of year, the Talley Stick is recalled in Taxes. Private sector then uses Talley stick as circulating money.
The talley stick system worked well, especially up until 1694, when Jews maneuvered the first debt spreading bank into existence - the BOE, bank of england. In upper middle ages, an average working man could afford a family of four, good wollen clothing, and a thatched roof house. He and his family had meat (lamb and mutton) almost every day. In upper middle ages, an average skilled workingman only needed to work about four months a year to pay for his and his family's needs. The extra time was spent fishing, or laboring on whatever they wanted to do, including building of cathedrals, or making paintings, etc.. The cathedrals were mostly done with volunteer labor, and it was whole communities coming together.
So, English used Talley sticks, which were a form of sovereign money, and they were non usurious. Additional built up credit and debts were settled at the big fairs. Fairs like Mayfair would issue script, so at the end of fair, everybody would be happy as their slates were wiped clean. There would be some small amount of silver and gold coin in the money supply, but the English did without it for the most part.
Credits and Debts are part of our evolutionary heritage. In the old days, you would fix Helga's window, and then she might give you a hand job. You built up credit by fixing Helgas window, and she discharged her debt to you with services rendered. No money changed hands. (Or maybe she baked you a pie.)
At the fair, if Joe owed Jim, who owed James, who owed Mark, it was all settled using script.
Money, like Talley sticks discharge debts immediately (not later at the fair). You pay for services or goods, and the person receiving the Talley money is satisfied.... there is no debt relation.
A full money type economy requires a high level of law, as the true nature of money is law. Nazi Germany had comprehended money as a lawful institution, and this was a huge threat to the ((international merchants)).
