A agree, there is a way all of us can do a better job of protecting ourselves from an insane monetary policy that we can't quickly bring to and end. I'm hoping you do more than just a discussion of money in your book, delving into the philosophy that undermines human affluence.

Briefly, as I age I think ever more about Ayn Rand's words, paraphrased, 'fix the fundament error and the rest will self-correct.' And I then think of just how much human energy is expended, largely in a place-holding activity, in an attempt to slow the irrational course. Both the energy and the financial fields abound with constructive dialogue yet the insanity overrules every intelligent discussion.

When a simple, 'end market manipulating,' would solve the problem, everyone argues for 'raising the intellectual caliber of the manipulators.' Titanic deckchairs come to mind.

Collectivism and altruism, the rejection of reason in an argument and fundamentally, that reality is mailable, destructive thinking that virtually continues unchecked.

Some years ago, I wrote an essay about where social problems stem from and that Objectivism was the solution. Your money course makes me think I might revise it with a better opening. Cheers.
