I don't think it's time yet to eliminate cash, but I propose having a less-cash society, not a cashless one.

We Americans are not about to stop borrowing as long as they give us money for nothing.

I think that a lot of the money - these big bills - is used to facilitate tax evasion and crime.

Cash is very easy to hide. It's easy to hoard. It's easy to move, especially these large bills.

The Indians and Chinese have become brilliant chess professionals. They get on a plane and play all over the world. This has led to dramatic pressure on incomes. Nowadays, the best chess player in Argentina can no longer make a living playing chess.

Worrying about inflation now is like worrying about the measles when you might get the plague.

... far more people make a living as professional chess players today than ever before. Thanks partly to the availability of computer programs and online matches, there has been a mini-boom in chess interest among young people in many countries.
