Monetary Prosperity
Economic transactions beyond borders, banks, and bureaucracies

Removing the constraints of currencies so that everyone can prosper
On the one hand we have skills, and on the other, needs. Without money skills are unemployed, and needs, unmet.
Money does not come from vaults, but is created with bookkeeping by private corporations called banks. Even governments go to banks for money.
Bank money is issued as debt (claims on your assets) at compounding interest causing recessions, unemployment, and bankruptcies through no fault of the user.

We show the monetary accounting so that citizens receive a dividend at the rate of…

The most common sources of money are mining, debt, and credit.
