In my last blog post, I asked the question, "What is Money"?
You guys offered some really good answers, and from what you responded, here's what I got;
Money is an idea, a concept which is applied to an object. In ancient societies, seashells were currency. There have been many different currencies; gold and silver, land and livestock, and today, even ourselves, the debt-ridden human race.
But no matter what the object, the concept behind "money" always remains the same; it's what you trade with, the "unit" that you replace other valuable object with.

So, here's another question;
What is prosperity?

Prosperity is the output

Prosperity is the output gain of human input and end product of an economy. Sometimes referred to as "the fruits of ones labor".

Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.

All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue, "who will be the beneficiary?"

"Seek not abroad, turn back into thyself, for in the inner man dwells the truth..."
