“Money is part of the conduit or carrier. If money is to foster learning and knowledge, it cannot itself be surprising. Part of the channel for capitalist activity, money must be the measure rather than what is measured. It is the fixed medium rather than a flexible message.”

“If knowledge is wealth, growth is learning. The most important role of money is as the measure of that learning.”

“In a knowledge economy, stable money is central to the standards of measurement. Manipulating the value of money is the equivalent of manipulating the data of a scientific experiment after it takes place, distorting the information economic actors need to create new wealth.”

“Money carries the information to investors, workers, small businessmen, major corporations and entrepreneurs. All need to gauge the success or failure of their attempts at growth.”

“State control of money has become a bastion of government economic centralization wreaking havoc on capitalist economics. By controlling money supplies, central banks and their political sponsors determine who gets money and thus who commands political and economic power.”

“Monetarism (control of money), Keynesianism (control of spending), and Mercantilism (control of trade) all foster the illusion that government power can drive economic growth and wealth creation.”

“Time is embodied in interest rates (the time value of money), in budgets, in contracts, and in accounts. In economics, time is chiefly represented by money. In the deepest sense, money is time.”

“Money cannot be expanded or contracted at the will of the sovereign. In order to explain a willingness to exchange real goods and services for it, money must be strictly limited in quantity.”
