The concept of money and how it works is crazy when you delve into it. It’s amazing how effective the system has been at raising billions out of poverty in the last century.

At least, I would not predict the success if I were a random citizen from 100 years ago…

Money has been around for thousands of years, attributing industrialization to it is wrong.

It did play a role, but more like an enabler instead of being the cause

Money changed at lot on the 20th century.

It used to be limited by natural supply. On the beginning of the 20th century it became limited by government policy, and on the end of the 20'th century countries started experimenting with letting it limited only by market forces.
