Treasury to unveil new $100 bill
Not sure how I feel about this. Soon, our money really will be Monopoly money.

As far as I read in the press (2008 - onward), there are certain people in the world who see it as their monopoly money … playing games.
And it is actually true, the monopoly has the Fed - printing the money.

‘This man is a genius’

[John Forbes Nash, Jr.] has also developed work on the role of money in society. In the context that people can be so controlled and motivated by money that they may not be able to reason rationally about it, he has criticized interest groups that promote quasi-doctrines based on Keynesian economics that permit manipulative short-term inflation and debt tactics that ultimately undermine currencies. He has suggested a global “industrial consumption price index” system that would support the development of more “ideal money” that people could trust rather than more unstable “bad money”. He notes that some of his thinking parallels economist and political philosopher Friedrich Hayek’s thinking regarding money and a nontypical viewpoint of the function of the authorities. (Link)
