@Senator_Armstrong @Griffith until governments treat economics like they treated literacy in the 20th century (we need this higher! we're harmed by the lack of it!) instead of like they treated literacy in the 18th century (we need to keep this from growing so fast! we're harmed by it!), any power that develops will eventually develop a Federal Reserve and all the other elements of globalism will appear like demons from a summoning circle.

@Senator_Armstrong @Griffith economic knowledge, not a focus on economic figures. Governments treat GDP like a thing that must always go up, but they react like vampires to anyone who can explain how inflation works.

@Senator_Armstrong @Griffith they don't need to learn it. How literate do you think people really are? The issue is governments wanting to improve the situation, vs. wanting to keep peope ignorant. When the 20% that learn it feel comfortable talking about what they've learned without getting shut out, the 80% that can't will still remember some aphorisms, and still be able to tell you that counterfeiting doesn't create wealth.
