No one understands money the way the people to create it do. Even the best businessman has only a very vague notion of what money is, and what it can do. Normal people have absolutely no idea.
This knowledge gap is enormous. We are talking about not just the financial aspect of money, but the control aspect. The concept of money that can be used to baffle not just ordinary people, but kings and politicians and economists and intellectuals, to gain control of all of them.
I once read a book which gave a small glimpse onto the possibility that money is different from what we know it to be. The author kept saying "You have to see the money not with your eyes, but with your minds eye."
Took many years to understand what he meant, and it changed my life. But took even longer to understand this is just pulling one curtain back, there are multiple curtains behind it.
Every person needs to be taught completely and fully what money is and only then we can even begin to have a hope that this kind of thing will not happen fully.

What an excellent and well thought out comment. Thank you.
You’ve said it more succinctly than I could, but I’m right with you.
Money is just a means to end. It’s what it can get you that some of these malignant forces are after.
Conversely, or maybe even similarly... I don’t care about money. The amount I amass means nothing to me beyond what it contributes to my security.
I am not rich by any means, but I have double what I actually need.
And I need very, very little.
Exactly this.
I read something not too long ago that money is a currency of power. Power over people.
Well put.
Ok. How about you start. In 120 words or less what is your definition of "Money"
What book was this?
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
Robert does know his shit.
Greatest impact on my life as far as books go.
