What was the problem with using wheat as commodity currency?

History
1 answer:
notka56 [123]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

It's not like this was never done before. It was.

Compare it to gold however.

1. The Fed can't manufacture gold.

2. Wheat would have a crop each year that varies. So there would be no stability.

3. Gold does not oxidize nor does it react (hardly) with anything else. If you have an ounce of gold today, it will be an ounce tomorrow. In time, wheat will spoil.

4. It is not easily mined, see point 1. Wheat is easily grown to produce more.

5. It does not burn as wheat might.

6. Wheat cannot be made into smaller amounts like coins the way gold can.

7. It does not disappear into binary numbers the way bitcoin would.  (Of course wheat wouldn't either).

Racism in the past and racism in the present
xenn [34]

Answer:

Racism in the past was a lot worse, starting by the fact that during an important amount of time, minority populations were either enslaved, or subjected to serfdom, or obliged to live in remote reservations and robbed of their lands. There were also lynching's, segregations in public and private places like schools, restaurants, and buses. Treatment was often unequal under the law, and job and education opportunities were less.

Racism in the present still exists, and it is still a problem, especially because if often manifests itself in ways that are not so apparent. However, it is undeniable that a great degree of progress has been made in this matter in recent decades.
