Hampered Money, Hampered Economy

After three days of the desert fun
I was looking at the river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
--America

Stated differently, when the monetary system is hampered, then capitalism cannot exist in full form. Yes, some people may act in capitalistic manners. Some people might save and invest, for instance.

But when money is messed with, distortions build, moving the economic system further from the capitalism pole and toward the socialism pole.

A destination that can never be reached.
