Gold or money is a just proxy for power.
Power is the final crux here.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoThey are cross fungible and leverage able, so this is a silly empty distinction. But money has historically been more effective at producing or controlling power than the other way around.
- 77pt77 2y agoThey are not cross fungible. Money/gold is a proxy in the current social system.

- ffsm8 2y agoI'm not sure I can agree with that, because historically speaking would include the time we had nobility. And in that time period, having money would not provide you with power, as nobles were beyond the law and could simply cease it for themselves.
