Ingrid Snook, Chapter 10, Question 5

What really stuck out to me during this chapter was when Wheelan is talking about India. He made it sound like the whole concept of our currency, and the a lot of the worlds, is all psychological. Knowing that our currency isn't actually worth anything, we're just putting a mental value on it is almost disturbing. What if one day we all refused to pay with money and decided to pay with talents or riddles or facts instead? Who would be the rich people? It just makes me wonder how the people of our country often don't agree on a a lot of things, but for some reason we can all agree that our hard earned dollar is worth something being sold to us. It's not bad necessarily, it's just kind of weird.
