Back in 1950 Yemenite Jews arriving in Israel saw water faucets and thought they created water. They knew nothing of the invisible infrastructure of pipes and pumps that made water gush out of the faucet. Similarly, there is an invisible spiritual infrastructure that makes modern commerce possible. Finding food in the supermarket reliably every day; assuming the light will come on when you flick the wall switch; reaching someone on the other side of the world from your mobile phone; knowing that when you go through an intersection on a green light you won't be T-boned by an 18-wheeler barreling through against a red light. How strangers will happily provide what other strangers want. All through the magic of money. When government integrity goes, the judicial system goes, crime comes, and the economy tanks. See the rules here: https://www.wehappywarriors.com/book-of-ruth-free-lesson-signup. Use code RUTH15. What happens when five individual farmers working for themselves form a co-op and start collaborating. Why reported murder rates decline, even while you just know crime is way up.
