"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Aconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money?

Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce.

Is this what you consider evil?

-- Francisco d'Aconia, from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Beograd


Sava til venstre,sett fra Kalemegdan...

Beograd, byen der Sava og Donau møtes. Et sted fullt av paradokser, og kompleks historie. Siden ingenting er uten forklaring, finner man ofte større forståelse når man sjekker sine premisser. Mange burde ha sjekket sine forstillinger bedre, før man grep inn i politikk på Balkan fra steder langt borte.
