Money as debt
A slightly unusual inclusion for this blog, but I stumbled across this lengthy exposition of how money works. It's interesting how something so fundamental is so poorly understood, perhaps like most of the important things in life! So, if you think that money is merely a cheque for gold, think again. Video here and thankfully in cartoon format.
