Money is a social construct, which only works because everyone behaves as
though it is in some way "real".
What happens when the media start talking about what sort of thing money
really is you get the situation that we almost had this Autumn in the UK over
the Northern Rock affair. The media almost let the cat out of the bag and
only the timely application of disinformation saved the UK and world economy
from melt down.
