My thoughts on Money

Money is one of the most important inventions in history. It is the heart of trades and economy,the main source of power,fame and wealth. And may be the primary reason of the wars. Today it is almost impossible to live without money. It is also the biggest passion of humans. It doesn't surprise us if someone kill somebody for money. Even whole family can be killed by one of the family members. Money is our happiness,sadness,greed,joy....etc. Briefly it is everything to us. Let's take a look at its history. The first stamped money was introduced about 2600 years ago by Lydians.It was spreaded from Mediterranean and Asia Minor to the other places via shipping and trading. Other civilizations adopted it by the time. It's had a different a meaning and importance since industrial revolution. Different thoughts,theories and ideologies were developed such as communism,capitalism,socialism...etc. Social and economic problems,conflicts,revolutions occurred in different countries. Finally today. We are in another economic trouble. Highly globalized world is like a body anymore. When somewhere hurts whole body is affected by it. The reason of crisis might be the mortgage credits I don't know but it is affecting whole countries right now. Anyway there must be a lesson for us to get. It may be the time to invent new ways,develop new ideas.Maybe the power of money,the old invention cannot carry this huge,heavy world anymore.
