Keith You commented in part in this post that no-one has yet countered your argument that
"the mechanistic aspect will not be sufficiently analysable or understood until we have a currency system that has constant purchasing-parity across all countries. This can be either one world-wide currency of known and constant value (that is, a dependable human unit and also a truly scientific unit of measurement) or the frictionless exchange of individual currencies (that is, national currencies not being interfered with by politicians or central banks" I have not replied before to the rest of this thread, but I would like to comment on this particular point. While it may be true that such a currency is needed, it is inconceiveable that such a currency could exist in isolation. The true value in the world simply cannot be captured in any one currency. A system of parallel currencies, perhaps with a "frictionless" one at the top - such as proposed in various places by Bernard Lietaer is conceivable, but only if we can develop the necessary community currencies to make it really work. regards Charles Brass Chairman Future of Work Foundation phone:61 3 9459 0244 fax: 61 3 9459 0344 PO Box 122 Fairfield 3078 www.fowf.com.au the mission of the Future of Work Foundation is: "to engage all Australians in creating a better future for work"
