I am a semi-retired self employed business owner who designs and builds instruments and machines. Obtained a BS in Sociology (with minors in Physics and Math) in the 1960's and became interested in studying the structural violence built into our social, political and economic systems as an avocation. I live off grid with my wife in an earth sheltered home I built in rural central Kansas.

This will be a series of twelve
articles that will attempt to give a more complete understanding of how our
money works. It has been found that the community of users of a
money system has an important role in money creation and operation.
Acknowledging this role of the user community, we will study how money
currently works, and can otherwise, work, covering bottom up
(mutual) as well as top down (authority based) money
systems.
This series brings a functional approach to the definition of money, and the implications of the functional approach in a democratic society. It also seeks to understand how money is used as capital, and how that effects relationships between its users.
