Moneyed Money

How to exchange the least expensive product for pure gold

Joseph Van Hal • Boek • paperback

  • Samenvatting
    "MONEYED MONEY" offers insight into how the term 'money', uttered by over 7 billion people daily, often remains largely misunderstood. Despite numerous attempts by governments, scholars, bankers, and international organisations to pin down a definition, the conclusion typically echoes Jean Gabin's sentiment: "Maintenant je sais” (this time I know). However, the true understanding often resides with the ordinary person grappling with daily concerns about meeting basic needs.
    The book guides readers through a brief history of the concept of money, explores reflections by significant historical academics, and delves into the fundamental element of trust and confidence in relation to the precious metal "gold". Moneyed Money’s conclusion clarifies how, with technological innovations, even the most impoverished individuals may metaphorically purchase a single ‘onion’ by utilizing a pure gold instrument for indirect exchange.

    ADDENDA: ADD1 -'Fauteuil'-Academics on Money -- ADD2 -A Monetary Pitfall called... Value -- ADD3 -A 'Quixotic' Relic -- ADD4 -John Maynard Keynes - Locke(d) -- ADD5 -Lowndes-Locke Controversy in the 21th-C. -- ADD6 -Golden Governments -- ADD7 -Deceitful Banking Doctrines -- ADD8 -A Chronology of Monetary Evolution.

    Eight addenda explore various perspectives, each adding to the ultimate conclusion of Moneyed Money. I am convinced that not every reader will appreciate my subtly sarcastic tone towards well-known political and academic figures appearing in these addenda.

ABUNDANT CITATIONS

MONEYED MONEY is overflowing of quotations. PART I to PART VI could be described as a ‘CITATIONS - BOOK’ of academics and also of non-academics whom I let speak and to which I add in some instances my own opinions. I employed a total of more than 1,000 selected citations from authors, international organisations and encyclopaedias to endorse certain theses or undermine others. One could refer to the entire work Moneyed Money as “Interpretive Annotations” : A Scholarly Exploration of Quoted Sources”. To distinguish between my own text and the quotes, I have put all citations in italics.

WHY ABUNDANT?
I am aware that this exercise will not be uncritically accepted by some readers. Quotes can indeed have a deceiving effect if taken out of context. On the other hand, who am I to interpret the words of a writer, I have never met or spoken to? Many of the quotations are sufficiently self-explanatory and some are both prophetic and relevant to the present situation, even more than a century after the writing. The arguments in favour of the use of quotations are:
- To let the author himself speak, without giving one’s own interpretation.
- In many cases, the translations are not always satisfactory and can thus misinterpret the author's thoughts.
- In some cases, the quotes are misunderstood by some authors and put the unsuspecting reader on a false footing.
- If the reader is thoroughly interested in the author's view, it is conceivable that he will consult or rediscover the author's work to check whether the quote was indeed taken out of context.

COMMENTS ON THE CITATIONS
In most of the citations, some sentences or part of sentences were underlined with a dotted line. Below the quote, I then give my own interpretation and observations about the content of the quote, in full or limited to the underlined part of it, or just comments about its author. ×
