Abstract

      Money can be recognized as being a technological development comparable to the wheel and of similar antiquity. Among the more recent developments in the technology which facilitates transfers of utility (in 
the sense of game theory) are the systems like those of 
"EZ Pass" by means of which vehicles traversing toll 
bridges or toll highways can pay their toll fees without stopping for the attention of human personnel manning 
the toll booths.
    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.
