Modern money is almost altogether credit money.

There is never enough gold to redeem all the currency in circulation.

At present, financial crises occur, chiefly because the paper currency is redeemable in gold only.

The business of a bank is to lend money; which amounts, nowadays, to lending credit.

When not only gold but all commodities are available for the redemption of the paper currency, its volume is limited only by the value of all the wealth of the country, and it can never become insecure up to this limit.

In brief, egoism in its modern interpretation, is the antithesis, not of altruism, but of idealism.

Your thoughts and emotions are yours alone.
