It depends on which parts of math you feel are 'more real than others'. To someone who only just has learned math, the increasing counting numbers (1, 2, 3, 466..) are all 'real things'. But if you are very cynical abou

I am aware you didn't specifically ask for answer, but I was not satisfied with the answers you got :-), so I'll add my two cents.. I have 3 points to make. (1) The first is about 'when does it make sense for a song to use

There are also downsides to it. One of the benefits of debt is to have more liquidity. If nobody owed anybody anything, but at the same time it was very difficult to trade with anybody, you would have a very inflexible situation that might

@ Jensson: As the others have said.. You might mean something else with your statement, but you cannot escape that the very definition of money is owed debt: A bank note is in essence an IOU: "This represents value you can redeem later

Ironically, outside the US I managed to live until the age of 41, before I caved in and got a driver's license. Instead, I got around by train, tram, bus, bicycle, feet and taxi. I would argue, that in a society not designed to require

I'm sorry I'm not directly answring your question. But part of the answer is, that we are not really intending to fix the CO2 issue. A/the major point with the initiative is that we have effectively killed marine/water l

I suspect loopholes will be the big problem here. There will be an incentive to form a sort of cartel of entities that semble being small, but in reality act in unison/coordinated. Sort of like the current scandal with price-fixing
