The Genius of Money_Blog#3

3. Just Money and Social Finance

The author points out that money eventually make us corrupted. As we know, the money is symbolic. If I may borrow the author’s expression, “throughout financial transaction, expenditures, and revenues, you will see what you, or a country, really care about”. Although money is what human being made for our convenience, a derivative of money itself like debt and interest is ultimately painful for us. Money divides people into wealthy and poor one because the wealthy one can control the money system with power.

What I want to say is that the author just criticizes wealthy people. Many of wealthy people have achieved their current financial positions with painful efforts. Studying financial securities or knowledge is one of those efforts. They cannot just sit on the table with nothing. As I read the book, I sometimes felt it is too much. I understand the author explains the reality and a problem of current systems financially. But, it is better for him not to have biased viewpoints.
