Previously, under a monetary system where gold as money was in the hands of the people, government only had its own treasuries to sustain its war effort, along with any taxation or bond issues to finance the war. This made conflict limited, and lay at the heart of the relatively long periods of peace experienced around the world before the twentieth century. — Saifedean Ammous

I am surprised at all the people in the high-tech industry focused on "making money"...

Instead, if we focus all that energy on innovation, we'll change the world for the best. — Philippe Kahn
