what general money is

not real

money is just a set of tickets - nothing of value in itself, only for what it promises

something "imaginary" we use to get something "real",

a pattern of passing tickets that can be set up in many ways

information

money is the primary information system organizing our economy

really, it IS just information - not "real" in any real sense

money measures real things - why be short of measure?




open to design

imagine a deck of cards and one game, a tv with one channel, a computer with one program.

why have general information systems and just one money?

different moneys can be designed for different communities of users
