I don't know how to articulate this question, but I guess I want to know how much money exists in the world's economy? Well, it’s tough because you also need to take into account the number of debt, which will be significantly higher than the amount of money. Let’s pretend me, you, and Becky are stranded on a deserted island and we are coming up with a fair currency so we can trade things back and forth. We use coconuts as our currency. I’ll catch a fish, that’s 3 coconuts. You climb a tree and gather some coconuts (7 of them today!) so you can spend more money. Becky offers to tend your fire tomorrow all day while you’re out exploring. She’ll do that for you, for one coconut. You need a whole new room built into your little shack now. I will do that for you, but it’s going to cost 300 coconut
