Something New...

Money is system of measure in a social construct commonly called the "economy".  It is an agreed upon perception in literature that it is a symbolic of a biological system. All religious traditions that evolved from an oral tradition elude to this symbolic construct but attribute different stories to express these complex social functions. In the Christian old testament tradition, a compound book, of oral traditions and inspiration, an economy is not mentioned but it describes humanity in context with there natural surroundings and social activities.
These activities were described in the same manner that knowledge functions are described today - from the experience and knowledge of the discipline. An economy is thought of as as a single social activity now at the world scale due to our technology but our creation stories go back to even before a real social economy even existed. This draws me into the conceptual ideas of the old Testament writers who described these human concepts as the functional elements of nature that they were most familiar with. Knowledge as it existed at the time has always been a part of our activities and these stories place the knowledge of our ancestors into a functional perspective and system. Where I would differ with current perspective is only a matter of degrees but it creates and aligns itself with more traditions broadening the concept of the "economy" into something vastly different but of great importance.
The perspective changes from a totally human constructed social system to one that reflects a more traditional natural system that embodies both science and religious traditions and in doing so begins to unify thought and effort. There is NOT one economy just as there is NOT one country or people. There is NOT one government but governmental bodies that work together or are in conflict. These actions are all part of the system and profession known as "economics"  but it's limited to its historical context. As a human system of social interaction it's context has a very limited perspective with a focus only on the government and flow of currency between governing bodies. This system itself causes conflict by its very design.
Currency is an abstract idea of value that measures two very important elements in every scale of government: natural resources and human services. Although broad in scope the interaction of all human social activity has evolved into a system of measure that has become more important than the origins that it embodies. An abstract system that contains all the world's natural resources and all the world's possibilities of human activity but we are still describing it in terms of past technology and understanding. It's time for something new...
