Like speech, money is a form of self-expression. How individuals and societies use money says a lot about them. At the grocery store someone might be buying chips and soda. Someone else might be buying grass fed beef and organic vegetables.

When money is broken it’s similar to what Orwell said (ironically) in his novel 1984 about language: “It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words." Broken money causes economic distortions in society, everything from poor nutrition to real estate inflation to forever wars.
