From Tribes to Societies and Back Again

November 19, 2020 By Philip Barton

Thursday In Dawn of Gold, I pointed out the hitherto unremarked fact that all human groupings are brought about by the need to exchange – whether of sperm/egg cells, goods, services, companionship, hunting skills etc.  All congregations, both large and small, are a demonstration of this phenomenon. Without this need to exchange, tribes would never have formed.  … [Read more...]

His piece brought to mind something that … [Read more...]

Gold – The Ultimate People Power

February 28, 2017 By Philip Barton

Tuesday There is a belief that money can be replaced by fiat, so long as the value of the fiat is kept stable by responsible government.  That is an error.
