hello frankl, i just receive a document that hints at dire times past, a 'force loan' paper issued by the french government during the times described in that most fun of books, "fiat money inflation in france"



let us see if the obama operated empire will make use of similar nasty means.

my wager is that, by crook n hook, and round-abouts, the obama outcome will not be any less dire.

cheers, j

The article says:

"The book is Fiat Money, Inflation in France, written 50 years ago by Andrew Dickson White (a co-founder of Cornell University)."

Cornell was founded in 1865. Let's assume Mr. White was at least 21 years old then. 50 years ago is 1959. So he wrote the book when he was 105 years old?

OK, the book came out in 1912:
