What do you mean by economy of scale?

You say there are two aspects of systems: dynamics and semantics, and that these came undone during the great depression. Explain

What is promise theory, and how does this apply?

You mention that the monetary economy relies on borrowing (debt) and that banks play a role in trust.

We create wealth through work? Making things, mining things, refining things… doesn’t this mean we need to pay?
