"Money, the ultimate object of worship among modern humans, is the most mysterious of human artifacts: a magic number with no meaning or existence outside the human mind. Yet it has become the ultimate arbiter of life - deciding who will live in grand opulence in the midst of scarcity and who will die of hunger in the midst of plenty. This gives ultimate power to those who control the creation and allocation of money."
