UNDER CONSTRUCTION -- A LASI -- (Linked Alphabetical Site Index)
We will finish this list in due course -- probably before the end of 2010 -- bug me if you are using this and want me to finish faster. It might not be as popular as I thought when I first designed it. (mrc)

We will then group all links by subject-matter and put the links into subject-matter categories. You will be able to link to them there.

That will basically finish the site on or around May 14, 2010 which just happens to be my 78th birthday. I will then go on a serious campaign to lose the fifty pounds I gained while sitting and standing at this computer over the last 3 years or so. From then on, we will spend no more than 1 hour / day on the computer.

We intend to tell something about the TARGET of each of the following links. Those are the words following the highlighted link. This should wind up being a complete Linked Alphabetical Site Index which will help the reader find what is being looked for.

The word (or number) after ".com/" in each link is/are the word(s) that will be alphabetized.

The six links at the very bottom of this screen are not covered by the alphabetical system -- but the links are valid.

Horizontal rules separate links into alphabetical categories --- Number categories (5 to 2008) follow. The symbol in ( ) preceding the text is the alphabetical character(s)

http://www.primeronmoney.com/chapters...............You are not allowed to enter this page -- I have no idea why not (mrc)
(cherm) http://www.primeronmoney.com/chermanemail.html / This is a real-life high school course for Advanced Placement students about "The Heart of Economics: the Creation and Management of Money". The teacher then introduces the course by wisely writing, "Without knowing how money is created and managed, all other topics concerning money are out of context. This is crucial: regarding trillions of dollars of economic power, you have no idea where money comes from. It’s time for you to learn. When people don’t know how money is created and managed, the only thing between them and tyranny is trust in ethical government. As we’ve discussed, American democracy is founded upon cautious distrust of government. To compensate for temptations of power and personal profit in government, the US Constitution is designed with checks and balances. However, because checks and balances can be thwarted if politicians are unethical, the only real protection of liberty is citizen responsibility. American democracy is dependent upon our taking personal responsibility for understanding our most important economic and political issues. This is one of them." Shortly thereafter the teacher writes, "Please be advised that the ideas most people have about how money is created and managed are false. Again, I provide all data in good faith as completely accurate. The conservative principle of prima facie applies. The following facts are verifiable in common economic dictionary and encyclopedia information, and hold unless refuted. I welcome any correction of inaccurate information and/or inclusion of useful information. Because the facts are so different from what most people believe, cognitive dissonance will push some people to reject the facts. Please reaffirm your commitment to embrace the facts. Here we go: ...

But then the teacher presents: "When banks lend money, the interest charge can double the amount of money the customer must repay. Through fractional reserve banking, only the amount leant is created (principle) but not the interest. Because our US money is only created as debt, and the interest is never created, we can now explain some extraordinary but predictable outcomes of this monetary system. Money is debt, created out of nothing by private banks, and then leant to us to repay at interest. The debt will always be greater than the money supply. It’s impossible to ever repay total debt; we are in debt forever in this monetary system."

The preceding is the #1 common myth we write about at #1 of http://www.primeronmoney.com/myths-hoaxes-misdirection-and-siliness.html

It is the very same myth that Ellen Brown swallowed so completely. See #1 at the above link. How are we ever going to make educational headway if teachers and our most popular writers get things so wrong?

I wrote to this teacher, trying to set up a meeting to discuss this problem -- but received no response. You can see the email at the link following #67 above. (mrc)

It certainly is one of the prime motivating forces and goals of the human race. It pushes and pulls everyone.

Innovative and opaque instruments of debt; greedy bankers; lenders’ eagerness to take on risky loans; a lack of regulation; a shortage of bank liquidity: all have been nominated as the underlying cause of the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression. But a more perceptive, and more troubling, diagnosis is suggested by the work of a little-regarded British chemist-turned-economist who wrote before and during the Great Depression.
