    Decided they were going to change over to the barter system,and a rabbit or other "real" form of trade became like money,do you think the fact that we no longer know how to survive without electricity,and grocery stores,and so on, would make life difficult?.

    i dont understand how that would suddenly cause us to loose electricity.. but i think that someone else would just take over. I dont think it would be possible to actually get to that point.

    Banks can not go to barter. Why? Because if the Bank Of Brazil makes a thirty billion pound deal with the Bank Of Japan, they don't want to wait six years for thirty billion pounds worth of wheat to be transported to the other side's vaults.

    I think i know what your saying unbalanced and i think what he is saying nightfall is that money is now our everyday experience of trade. He is saying that if the world started to collapse socially and culturally then would we be able to survive. I dont think a lot of people would but i think life would go on albeit at a primitive level. Peoples individual judgements would decide the value of things. The farmers would be the ones who would rake it in. They would also have to work hard to keep their land from being 'raided'. Farmers are also the rich ones nowadays anyway. Well the landowners anyway. They are loaded but you never here about them because they arent in your face about it.

    A more likely scenario...

    ...would be for The federal reserve,which is several private,and powerful world banks who answer to themselves and no one else,decided to call in all the loans from a certain segment or class of debtors,like farmers for instance.
    Every time you sign the papers for a loan check,or use a credit card,you are agreeing to their terms,and one of the last things it says in almost every loan paper I have signed is that these conditions may be changed at the dicretion of the financial institution,so they can do pretty much what they want.
    The banks really do own the world,and the governments of the world.The american economy would be easily repaired if the FED would introduce more money into the system,and keep the interest rates in check,and the government could raise the minimum wage too,but there would not be enough profit in that for the banks and governments,and too much profit for the people,the people's rights must be gradually removed or they will have too much power and become a threat to those who have power through tyrrany,the greedy ones are always the ones in control of everything....

    The Great Depression.

    Was engineered by the FED to take power from the farmers,and also to destroy anyone who did not approve of how they did business.

    The landowners (the farmers sometimes do all the work and the landowner takes the profit and only gives the farmer a 'cut') still make a lot of monet though. i dont know anything about the great depression unbalanced. What is that??

    I know what I know..

    and I will be glad to post it as soon as I can get a common form of reference which you can access also,but there are sites which deal with history on the web,all kinds of them.Look up The Great Depression from the 1930's in USA,and then look up what the FED was up to at the same time,and the events which were current to lay a distraction for the people of the time.
