Genghis Khan was really the bad one and grandson Kublai the worst, proof is simple, it was Kublai who really popularized and centralized the paper money which the Chinese had invented circa 960AD. In addition, through Marco Polo, the idea of paper money was introduced to Europe, though thankfully (most people thought Marco a huge liar) it took until the 1600's for it to finally emerge there. Of course it was not long after that Massachusetts cranked up the printing press in America. Jesus, OTOH, drove the money changers from the Temple, so we know he was a good guy who had the right ideas, ggg. Today we have installed the money changers in the Temple, which is called the Federal Reserve and most countries have Temples for the worship of paper money, i.e., central banks.
