With crypto currency as literally didgits on a computer and stocks ,shares ,currency commodities racing up and down in values , one begins to wonder what genuine wealth is .
Gold standards were replaced by pieces of paper, and things have gotten a lot more dodgy, dodgy dealings, and promises of earnings and cooked books are in vouge . Traditionally, one worked, and in exchange for work, you were owed something, and traditionally , as in former times, the King was the proprietor of all , and he represented God the supreme Proprietor . It was the king who issued currency to represent work, and the nation state and its currency had the value of real work ,services, and goods backing its strength .
Today’s world of private issues of strange didgits on a computer representing money is indeed a strange turn of events as the cheaters get more technologically sophisticated and the cheated get more bamboozled.
I doubt the wealth in the stocks are a realistic assessment, its just based on promises of what the company might do , and often based on cooked books, the currency markets are a tool by which wealthy countries keep poor countries poor . After all, a man’s labour should be worth the same anywhere .
The commodity markets are rigged by global conglomerates in an attempt to try to keep profits artificially high, the biggest conglomerates gradually buying up the smallest and creating monopolies.
Thus the unipolar world has left a lot of problems in its trail .The new multipolar world world may ease the problems and share wealth in better ways , but the underlying problems are deeply embedded in financial institutions and deep state governance.
Only the genuine intelligentsia can sort it . The problems began a long time ago when the intelligentsia were pushed out of place , and unruly kings took their place , who were then later replaced by democracies that have been now infiltrated by ruthless businessman and the political puppies. They who are clueless in the art of administration of society and ignorant of the sciences of mind , matter, and consciousness and how they knit together perfectly with the social structures. It’s a society of the cheaters and cheated.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja gives the vision of how to replace cheating of all kinds with honesty, and Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami explains all in his literature.
