As security for the property of the borrower, which will be charged as security. The money will be created while the interest is not. Therefore, the interest may be generated, or others are taken away.

The dilemma is that the economy is growing in absolute terms, linear, the amount of money (or debt), but by the exponentially Zineszins. In the long run, the collapse of the financial system is inevitable. It is not the man who demands from the national product too much, but of capitalist accumulation and monopolization of targeted financial market.
The money system is like a giant pump, which pumps about Zineszinsmechanismus daily for 1 billion euros from the 80% "losers" of the system assets at the 10% "winners" of the system. The system is fed back positive: if you hold a microphone to a speaker, you can hear the financial system - it's unbearable!!
is also the financial system not organized democratically, but is private and by all governments independent institutions controlled!
strange, however, that all participate enthusiastically!

second Democratization? Everyone can contribute to this by the knowledge is disseminated, as well as policy, central banks and banks will be asked to do so.
third Demurrage? A mooring fee was introduced by the Swedish central bank in 2009.
4th Complementary currencies ? Already about 50 in Germany since 2007, including the "Nahgold" in the district Calw Calw health food store: currency exchange.
5th Cooperatives, community initiatives (initiative Snow orchard juice) etc.
votes this:
The "One hundred percent capitalist and Nobel laureate Friedrich von Hayek called in 1979 to overcome the monopoly of the banks money and to allow competition of complementary money systems.
The monetarist and Nobel laureate Milton Friedman wrote in 1962 (Capitalism and Freedom), that "only a crisis - whether real or perceived as such - brings about real change. If this Crisis occurs, then hang the activities undertaken by the inventiveness and creativity from the persons concerned. Our main task is in my opinion is to develop alternatives to the dominant main stream direction to them once the allegedly "politically impossible" to "political necessity" is to implement in width. "
The scientist Chris Martenson (The Crash Course) wrote: Either we make a voluntary change in the present right now, or we will be in the near future face involuntary with profound changes.
Conclusion:
treat symptoms is not a solution - it must cause to be changed!
The window closes - alternatives have already been successfully tested - It is important not to wait any longer, but to act now!
DC today to exchange or € Nahgold in regional shopping and go!!
