Nah there must be some mistake. If they did that it would mean AtW was right.

Sea shells or weights of salt. I envisage the return of the barter system

I envisage the return of the barter system

Which worked adequately in nearly every nation at some point (and still does in some tribal communities or LETS schemes today)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C.S. Lewis
