Although the creation of the U.S dollar had a redeemable amount of gold and silver for every amount of currency in circulation, this did not last. The creation of the Federal Reserve made way for the greatest illusion of capitalism known as of yet. “Money” is being created independently and being loaned out to the…

The question of whether or not the free market is immoral begs the question of whether a system of trade can have morals in the first place. Capitalism, or the free-market, cannot be inherently immoral, but people do have the freedom to engage in immoral behavior within the free-market system if they so choose.

it is commonly sought after, which it is. Everybody, save maybe a few indigenous tribes of indians who barter with other things that they value, values money. Since all citizens of the United States values the U.S. Currency it makes it valueble to all Americans. American dollars can be transferred to any other form of money so therefore American dollars have value everywhere in the world because almost all societies have a monetary system similar to ours. But all forms of money are basically…

This essay argues towards the conclusion that Robert Nozick’s ‘experience machine’ thought experiment does not successfully challenge hedonism as a theory of rational action. It will first explore the concept of hedonism and what would be required to mount a successful challenge to it. It will then outline the ‘experience machine’ thought experiment and assess the conclusions Nozick draws. Referring to epistemological objections raised by Woolard and Hewitt alongside methodological objections…

Money has evolved from special purpose to a more general-purpose form, which can be traded across boarders and for a variety of goods and services at an established value.
