We should ask the question, since when was money ever NOT manipulated by it's creators (governments and banks). There is no such period in human history. Money is a creation of governments so they can provision themselves. The old story of money coming from barter is a fairy tale. Made up. The problem with the article is that it assumes such a period (money without intervention) is possible or even desirable.
