Re: Fw: [gang8] Cartalism

Here is a dollar.  Is it "weak money," or is it "strong money?"

My employer writes me a check for my services.  Is it "weak money," or
"strong money?"

I have worked for 40 hours, and my  employer will pay me for that in one
week.  Is that "weak money," or "strong money," or is it money at all?

I just charged my meal on my credit card.  Is that "weak money," or "strong
money?"

I just charged my groceries on my debit card.  Is that "weak money," or
"strong money?"

I think the answers to those questions ought to be illuminating.

I also think the terms "weak" and "strong" betray an inherent bias in the
analysis, but that is neither here nor there.
