Resource Center - Money

Money is anything that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts. The main uses of money are as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. Some authors explicitly require money to be a standard of deferred payment. The term "price system" is sometimes used to refer to methods using commodity valuation or money accounting systems.

Money includes both currency, particularly the many circulating currencies with legal tender status, and various forms of financial deposit accounts, such as demand deposits, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. In modern economies, currency is the smallest component of the money supply.

Money is not the same as value, the latter being the basic element in economics. Money is central to the study of economics and forms its most cogent link to finance. The absence of money causes a market economy to be inefficient because it requires a coincidence of wants between traders, and an agreement that these needs are of equal value, before a barter exchange can occur. The use of money is thought to encourage trade and the division of labor.

The word "money" is believed to originate from a temple of Hera, located on Capitoline, one of Rome's seven hills. In the ancient world Hera was often associated with money. The temple of Juno Moneta at Rome was the place where the mint of Ancient Rome was located. "Juno" etymology may derives from the Etruscan goddess Uni (which means "the one", "unique", "unit", "union", "united") and "Moneta" either from the Latin word "monere" (remind, warn, or instruct) or the Greek word "moneres" (alone, unique).

VISION Statement and Purpose:

Business is based on true free-market values and natural law, not managed and manipulated economies such as we have today. Business is the economic engine to change the world, for better or for worse, depending on our choices. Everything you buy is a vote for that product. Your money is your vote.

Whenever possible choose debt-free, gold, silver and commodity-backed exchange systems that create true economies of, by and for the people, instead of global casino operations run by legally sanctioned criminal syndicates (i.e., privatized governments, transnational corporations and central banking systems).

Deregulate the banking cartel and create competitive monetary systems based on free-market choices. Eliminate all income tax and protectionist schemes that penalize productivity. Restore freedom and liberty.

"You can never change things by fighting the existing reality.  To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."  - R. Buckminster Fuller

Most people have the innate ability to combine their native intelligence with available resources to produce something of value to exchange with others. So what is the nature of a sustainable and just economy? What do we really want? What do we really need? What are we willing to pay money for and what can we receive in exchange or for free?

The most important question of all is what are we willing to produce, or how will we serve and give? This ability to produce is the basis for all wealth generation and sound business practice as well. Take notice of the abundance of the universe and the opportunities existing everywhere. Access your wealth-building ability and power within.

What is bought and sold informs us about our personal and social values.
  1. Do not allow your desires and values to be manipulated by marketing and advertisers.
  2. Lighten your consumption and live sustainably.
  3. Live simply that others may simply live.
  4. Do not be distracted by shallow materialism that takes you away from self, family, community and soul. Not all that glitters is gold.
  5. Always produce more than you consume and your survival and those of others around you is assured.
  6. Tithe at least 10% of your efforts to those in need.
