It is the people who constitute the basis of government credit. why then cannot the people have benefit of their own gilt-edge credit by receiving non-interest bearing currency-instead of bankers receiving the benefit of the people's credit in interest-bearing bonds. if the united states government will adopt this policy of increasing its national wealth without contributing to the interest collector-for the whole national debt is made up on interest charges-then you will see an era of progress and prosperity in this country such as could never have come otherwise.

In the name of economy a thousand wasteful devices would be invented; and in the name of efficiency new forms of mechanical time-wasting would be devised: both processes gained speed through the nineteenth century and have come close to the limit of extravagant futility in our own time. but labor-saving devices could only achieve their end-that of freeing mankind for higher functions-if the standard of living remained stable. the dogma of increasing wants nullified every real economy and set the community in a collective squirrel-cage.

Although humans have existed on this planet for perhaps 2 million years, the rapid climb to modern civilization within the last 200 years was possible due to the fact that the growth of scientific knowledge is exponential; that is, its rate of expansion is proportional to how much is already known. the more we know, the faster we can know more. for example, we have amassed more knowledge since world war ii than all the knowledge amassed in our 2-million-year evolution on this planet. in fact, the amount of knowledge that our scientists gain doubles approximately every 10 to 20 years.
