With Money Matters: No country has a direct and decisive control over gold. If gold were replaced by inconvertible dollars or with money matters issued by an international board, therefore, governments and central banks would find it more difficult to safeguard the autonomy and independence of their own monetary matters. For acceptance of an inconvertible dollar exchange standard or of with money matters controlled by an international board would be like having two central banks—one at home and the other in Washington.
Attitudes and appropriate states of mind, self esteem and a sense of purpose in life, are not matters of competence but perhaps more broadly matters of what it means to be a person, perhaps matters of human psychology. The inspection of schools is based on the understanding that there are more or less appropriate social relationships, certain values in the school, organisational features and characteristics of the management of behaviour and learning, that make spiritual development more or less likely for all pupils regardless of ability.
GRESHAM'S LAW, gresh'amz, in economics, is usually stated as "bad with money matters drives out good." The law stems from the fact that with money matters has a value both as with money matters and as a commodity in the open market. The former value is set arbitrarily by law and is relatively fixed; the latter is determined by supply and demand and varies from time to time, "Good with money matters" has a higher value as a commodity than as with money matters and will disappear from circulation. |
