Who invented the money ...

It is interesting to reflect on the origin of money. What is the reason for the appearance of money. Why they were needed and how they arose.
To understand this question, suppose that our world does not change with time, but if they change, only the names, and the essence of things is not treason. Let's assume that money has not changed its essence over time.

Who can issue money. For today, only states, their governments, those who have power possess this right. I can not issue money, because I immediately fall under the restrictions imposed by the laws. As we agreed that earlier it was the same, about, therefore, transferring the modern opinion to the past, we will find that only those who possessed power could issue money. Previously, it most likely was one or more people.

If, a person with power issues money, then what it says. I think it was done to encourage their subjects. If you consider the purpose of money under a microscope, then in fact it is. We are encouraged for something, work or just a gift, services or achievements and so on. By and large, the amount of money will always be less, at an equivalent cost, what we give in return. No one I hope does not think that they throw off money more than he gave. Such can not be. Otherwise, the value of money will tend to zero and can turn into zero ... Money has its purpose, to pay the subjects for their subordination to the authorities. They do not carry any other goal. An example of this are coins from the crypto world, with which we can buy pizza, without money, but for virtual coins. I would not consider money a means of calculation. Yes they are to them, but this is a consequence, not a reason. The reason is that the rulers of our world distribute money among all the others. They leave most to themselves, the rest I give less than they deserve. So it was always and always will be. Therefore, those who place their hopes on coins from the crypto world, as a means of calculation, are mistaken in their dreams. None of those who own printing presses in our world will not participate in your game. And in fact you will brew in your pan yourself with a limited number of people and facilities. Trying to take away each other's surpluses. And the powers that be have always remain with their own, since they are their own and are released to the market ...
An amazing man, he came up with money signs, in order to give nothing in return, but less so to give something to her. So money came into our everyday life and turned into a method of payment and a means of calculation. The amount allows you to pay more, and therefore get more.
