Historical Control of Money

The decline in people's understanding of money is attributed to systematic historical changes, particularly since the 1920s. Events like World Wars and the takeover of educational systems have contributed to a lack of historical awareness regarding money and value exchange. As a result, modern society struggles with a flawed perception of money, where people are forced to accept currencies that don't truly represent value. Historical insight reveals that money used to be understood through tangible goods and services, but technology and coercion have created a disconnect from this understanding.
