Money... there hasn't been any of that for centuries.
Today we only have fiat currency.

And we are sold on the story that our problems can be solved if only we had more "money".

The even more hellish story is that we need more money, even though we are the wealthiest people to have ever lived on the planet.  Even poor people have televisions, toasters and refrigerators.

It is the all mighty dollar that controls access to "the good life".

Unfortunately, it is all a lie.  Just ask any rich person.  Or better yet, ask a lottery winner.

It is that "golden" ring just held out of reach.
