[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 (talk • contribs) 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)
