[edit] NESARA

NESARA is a monetary reform legislative proposal at http://www.nesara.org

The late Dr. Harvey Barnard wrote a book called "Draining the Swamp" which talks about the comming monetary rights movement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.5.110.24 (talkcontribs) 15:36, 23 June, 2005

Unfortunately, NESARA does not have much credibility since it is connected with New Age thinking about ascended masters, and the like. However, something like the American Monetary Institute which is a genuine movement head by Zarlenga is quite a different matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.78.15.212 (talk • contribs) 09:35, 30 August, 2007

[edit] Major overhaul

I am planning to give this article a major overhaul, if that's OK. It is currently very dense and switches wildly between criticisms and solutions. There are a lot of well meaning sentences but they don't go together and the whole thing is a bit of a dog's breakfast. It also goes alarmingly off-topic from the start.

Money Reform is an important entry point to a little-taught area of economics so I think it is important to introduce the main objections - namely fractional reserve and the fact that governments do not supply money - then move on to offered alternatives.

This restructure will not add any more references, that are badly needed, but it may be easier to add them once it is done. - RubyJester (talk) 22:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

It is done! I tried to keep as many of the existing sentences as possible but nearly everything received attention. I hope you agree it is now be easier to add references and hopefully remove the 'not enough citations' template. Since this is more like an introductory page to many sub-topics I summarised some principles with the onus on the relevant specialist page to back that up. Please jump in. - RubyJester (talk) 19:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Beautiful, Ruby. Beautiful. Other contributors - no wholesale changes please. This is neat and clear. Just add detail.--Socppt15 (talk) 02:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
