6. Really Money

Since the end of the gold standard, money was more a concept than a reality. In the Middle Ages, money is money. If you have gold, you have the gold. the current monetary system largely controlled by the International Monetary Fund, and the ability of a nation to print money on demand has led to devaluation of many currencies. The old adage says money does not grow on trees - but, unfortunately, modern Governments do not know that. Food prices are Relatively constant (with the exception of During During the famine and the price revolution), and those WHO do not have to Spend Half Their Income Pay off debt for Things That Are not Necessary. In fact, the community stores a bad turn in the revival of the so-called, dirty campaign against medieval feudal system, in order to get support for a new capital-based system. Economy based on production is Replaced by an economy based on how much gold the King released to the public. Here is an Excerpt from Life Inc. ..: How corporatism Conquered the World, and How We Can Bring Back.

Then you move your entire family to a location close to work, into poverty, Nowhere Crowded conditions and poor - a perfect breeding ground for disease and death "! and to the point of reference, the average wage in the mid 1400s is about 6 cents per day - the equivalent of 130 pounds a day in modern times - compared to the average current in England about 96 pounds per day.

Where the idea dead in thirty Came from, I do not know, but this myth has given birth to countless other people, Such as "facts" Should people get married in the early years of Their youth Because They will from the die before Longevity.
