In this presentation entitled For The Love of Money – How Loans and
Credit Cards Really Work, ex-banker and founder of the ‘White Rabbit’
project ‘Simon The Spaniard’ looks at what we really know about money:
“We spend half our lives chasing it, and the other half dreaming about
ways of spending it; yet most people don’t understand what it is, or how
it really works. The law of ‘money’ and ‘banking’ is the law of the
sea: ‘current’, ‘currency’. When we are born [free], our mother’s waters
break, and from those breaking waters, we emerge, having passed through
the ‘berthing canal’. We are weighed, measured, numbered and NAMED;
just like any vessel or cattle. The word ‘money’ derives from capital,
collateral, cattle. Sounds interesting? Welcome to the wonderful world
of banking and money; in which you will discover that you have always
been a millionaire - you just didn’t know it.”
