I quite agree with your second point there. And your first in part. Contracts should be based on trust, but they are not, they are based on money, which is our society's replacement for trust.Belinda wrote: Contracts are based on mutual trust. How can society exist without basic trust between individuals?
At the risk of sounding religious, didn't someone once say "give to Caesar what is Caesar's?". If money is, as the anarchists here think, the tool of the system, isn't it better that there is a chance the money will be used to fund public works rather than it being in the hands of corporations and individuals where it will not.
