Outline for "Ideal Money and Asymptotically Ideal Money"

    This paper evolved from my earlier study called "Ideal
Money". When I learned about the recent popularity, among
"central bankers" of the idea called "inflation targeting"
I was led to the inference that there is the possibility of
the evolution of the typical quality of a national currency
and therefore of the ultimate possibility of what can be 
called "asymptotically ideal money". That phrase stands for
a sort of money that is not recognizably of "ideal" type in
relation to the phenomena of inflationary deterioration of
value but which could be, in an "asymptotic" sense of that
quality.

              Outline (for "Ideal Money")

    Money is an artifact of civilization. So also is the 
standard kilogram which is a mass of platinum-iridium alloy 
that is kept in a special international institution located 
near Paris. But while the weight of the kilogram can be 
regarded as invariant with regard to various places and 
times on the Earth the value of monies used as currency 
varies with the effective political regime and with time 
rather than being as if like the value of the metal in 
the standard kilogram. 
    Money can also be regarded as a technological 
development comparable to the wheel and of similar 
antiquity. We have remarks about the history of monetary 
systems and about issues of comparative quality or merit. 
And we have a specific proposal about how a system or 
systems of "ideal money" might be established and employed. 
Also we criticize the "Keynesian psychology" in relation 
to the history of the influence of "Keynesians" on the 
practical characteristics of national currencies.
