This update of TUC Radioâs 2009 Film on Radio version opens up concepts for groundbreaking bank reform and explains three astounding quotes by American presidents:
âAll of the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arises, not from the defects of the Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.ââ¨John Adams, Founding Father of the American Constitution
âWhoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce ⦠and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.ââ¨James A. Garfield, assassinated president of the United States
âThe Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the governmentâs greatest creative opportunity.ââ¨Abraham Lincoln, assassinated president of the United States
With over 2 million downloads between 2006 and 2009 and translated into 20 languages, the film has remained to this date one of the extraordinary teaching tools and inspiration for the monetary reform movement.
Thanks to Paul Grignon for permission to use the soundtrack of his film, Money As Debt.
