Let’s say [you] were running a spice trading operation from a country in the west. The spices have great value, not only because of their taste, but also because of their healing properties. For years ships have gone to the east and have been buying cinnamon, pepper, vanilla, nutmeg and many other spices in return for money, in the form of silver coins.
Is that something that someone can keep doing endlessly?
What will the problem become and how to solve it?
This is one of the main reasons why Satish Kumar laughs at high end business schools that do teach economy, but no ecology.
In nature, of which we are part of (as inter-beings, not as superior beings. If you think humans are superior to nature or some humans are superior to others, then you better stop reading. This will not fit your limited paradigm)
So the spices will grow each year, but is there an endless supply of silver to pay for it? The answer is no. If the country, the people growing the spices does not use the money, the coins to buy back goods from the people being the spices, if there is no trade balance, at some point there will be a problem arising. A shortage on one side.
Hence, why trading soon changed into colonialism and why in case of oil dollars one needed to get off the gold standard.
Do you know what the gold standard is and what a fiat currency is? If not, it’s near to impossible to understand what situation [we] are in globally and why people are presenting [us] with a reset.
Another aspect of this, is that since the fiat currency, it is possible to just print more money. Is that without consequences?
We are currently witnessing a period of inflation. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Imagine playing a game of Monopoly. What happens when one of the players walks to his car where he has two more games lying on in the back. Het opens the boxes and take out all the money and brings it back to the table where [you] are playing. In an instant the amount of fake money has grown threefold.
What will happen to the prices of the streets, etc.?
Will the other player appreciate that?
What has happened to the money they were holding?
Has it become more or less valuable, or did nothing change?
So what happens to pension money / savings when more money is being printed?
