economy in general

hi !

I've recently seen these 2 videos on video.google.com:

Zeitgeist The Movie:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5547481422995115331

and

Money as Debt:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9050474362583451279

both quite interesting (though maybe not as scientific accurate and prove-bearing as exptected..)

those lead me to this interesting article on wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seigniorage

"The revenue derived from issuing currency" from a goverment or private company as the FED.



I recently bought George Soros's Open Society, which I'm really eager to start reading... what might a pure-economist understand by "Open Society", as opposed to what a geek like me does understand ?

lets see !

I'll try to report about this in an upcoming post.
