Foreign Currency and Exchange
Civilization has always had money, in one form or another, whether stones, shells, gold, paper, or plastic. It signifies work, earnings, possession of goods, and a more efficient practice than bartering or stealing. To many, money stimulates growth as an earner, power over poverty and degradation, freedom from worry and lack of material goods, and worth in the eyes of our culture. As our world has always known it, money is often viewed in this way. However, although many other entities bear these burdens, i.e., leadership, cultural hierarchy, etc., money becomes the most common and easiest scapegoat.
