Just a thought for discussion, but I was thinking about this earlier. Depending on currency really puts your nuts in a vice. Think about it, when currency can inflate, that a gallon of milk that costs 1 hour of your labor can later cost 3, even though it's the same turkey. It seems like dependency on currency is a massive mechanism for control, as it's value can be influenced by so many entities outside simple supply and demand. This, among other things, is why I feel that the current powers that be have a tighter control over the populous than ever before (surveillance technology and influence on the food supply being major factors as well). Thoughts?
