Is The Long Game Of Money Coming To An End?

Five thousand years of humanity has changed money's form while preserving its function 

Abstraction (noun): The process of representing a real object, relationship, obligation, or idea through a symbol, concept, or model that can be communicated, transferred, remembered, and applied beyond its original context.

Examples:

• A map is an abstraction of territory.
• A contract is an abstraction of agreement.
• A nation is an abstraction of collective identity.
• Money is an abstraction of value and obligation.

Money may be humanity's most enduring, most compelling, and most biologically resonant abstraction. 

The question is not where money came from. The question is: Why did this particular abstraction become so successful? 

Follow the money trail to suggest the answer. Money attached itself to instincts that were already present.

But the truth — the one visible in every major decision from Confederation to the present — is simpler and far more Canadian: this country is a continental accounting project.  Canada is a place where capital investment is mistaken for a national identity, and where every “nation‑building” project is in fact a fiscal instrument wearing a patriotic hat.
