John David: Ezra Pound lived in the town I grew up in, in Pennsylvania.

Me:  Yes, and Ezra Pound was an advocate of Social Credit so he came by his awareness of the monopoly control of money via Douglas. Pound of course got so frustrated with the intransigence and manipulations of the Banks that he ended up advocating fascism and got locked away and vilified for it. A lesson we can all learn from. The money system is intricate and complex and can send us down rabbit holes to no where and lead us economically, politically and philosophically to where one thing looks like its opposite…unless one integrates and considers the primacy of ethics, the enlightening empirical data found in the subset of double entry bookkeeping known as cost accounting and realizes that even though the hulking mass of the physical universe appears to be the primary reality it is actually the ideas/the natural metaphysical concepts/the generally held ideas/paradigms in men’s minds that are primary and where the actual power to change society exist.

John David:  Steve,

You might want to change “men’s” to “people’s” or such in your last line.

Me:  Yes, “people’s” would be better.

Pound actually lived in Italy I believe and advocated for fascism as a result. Of course being an advocate of SOCIAL Credit and the Italian equivalent of Nazi National SOCIALISM the powers that be in England and America could easily construe him as a socialist. Again, one needs to be dutifully aware of the agendas in society that confuse more than enlighten.
