Paper money is the greatest fraud in the history of mankind. Money is nothing but useless sh!t. Governments print worthless money just to stay temporarily afloat but then inflation kicks in and they crash like rock down a cliff. You cannot manufacture FAKE gold. For you to have gold you have to toil & dig hundreds of feet underground of spend countless hours on a riverbed sieving sand just to get a gram of gold.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]We assume
[ul]
[li][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]There are only 3 people in a country: A ,B and C having a wealth of Ksh. 300, 200 and 100 respectively.[/li][li][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Also, there is just one commodity in the country that all three of them would buy using up all their wealth.[/li][/ul]
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Therefore, total wealth in the country = [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] Ksh. 600 (300+200+100)
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Total commodity in the country: 60 kgs of rice.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Since they use their entire wealth to buy this commodity only, the price of rice would be =[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] Ksh. 10 per kg (600/60).
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]At this rate, person A can buy 30kg of rice, B buys 20kg and C buys 10kg of rice.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]One day they get hold of a currency-printing machine. They decided to double their money by simply printing more notes.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Now they have [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] Ksh600, 400 and 200 respectively.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Total wealth now = [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] Ksh. 1200
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]But total commodity in the country is still 60kgs of rice.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]The new price of rice = 1200/60 = [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] Ksh. 20 per kg
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]They go to buy the rice. With 600 bucks,A would still be able to buy the same 30kgs only, B 20kg and C 10kg! Damn! They realised how futile it was to print those notes.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Merely printing of notes doesn’t do good to anyone. If the total money supply is increased disproportionately to the increase of goods (and services) in the country, it only leads to devaluation of the currency. Although their wealth doubled, the value of their currency got halved.
So whoever invested paper money (Chinese) Fvcked this world real good.
