The Austrian school doesn't have an eccentric view of money neither do you have to read a whole book to understand it so I'm not sure what you want. Niall Ferguson wrote a book on financial history called the Ascent of Money if that's what you mean.

'The Web of Debt' by Ellen Hodgson Brown.

>EXPLODING THE MYTHS ABOUT MONEY Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been "privatized," or taken over by a private money cartel. Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions -- including the private Federal Reserve. Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans. To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices -- and robbing you of the value of your money. Web of Debt unravels the deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading. Then it explores a workable alternative, one that was tested in colonial America and is grounded in the best of American economic thought, including the writings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. If you care about financial security, your own or the nation's, you should read this book.

if the problem is taken literally, as in only one match can move, then this is actually impossible because the horizontal match which makes up the addition sign would need to be moved to take out the vertical match needed to make the 9. it's literally impossible to do without moving another match. are you some sort of idiot savant that got brain damage so just ended up a double idiot?

The Illuminatus! Trilogy and some other R.A.W. writings talk about this. So does Alan Watts and some other 'Greenpilled' authors.
Money is a form of magic that convinces people some interesting pieces of paper, cotton, plastic, or metal have intrinsic value. It's a little more complicated than that because it takes at least two people's belief to activate the spell. Over the years it's gotten more efficient, and now a lot of people don't even need the bills or coins, just a list of numbers is enough.

It's complicated, but essentially because what you're dealing with is a bunch of rectangles, it's actually profitable for the bug to go in one of two symmetrical paths around the corner, to get to the other corner. As such, if you extended this crawl to the opposite of the rectangular prism, this would be longer, but after a certain point, it would simply be more profitable to go around via the square sides, so the answer is extremely complex, however you can see based on my explanation that the region where the bug travels is CLOSE to the top right corner, but it's actually a bit farther beyond it, most likely down that far edge of the prism, because of the symmetry of the solution.

>> No.15466017

>>15465999
>>15465931
>>15465496
Actually sorry, the answer would not be symmetrical on the edge, it would be symmetrical along a diagonal on the opposite side, so it would most likely be AROUND B, ON THE OPPOSITE FACE of the prism, along a diagonal from B to the opposite corner, but closer to B.

I can't give you specifics, but basically the math equations are going to be something along those lines.

Figured it out, and it is not complicated.
What you must realize is that the bug has two ways to get to B:
>climb across the top: 3.16
>climb across the side: 2.82
Since the bug will always take the shortest route, that means it will be 2.82.
Our problem then becomes one of optimization. There will always be two paths that go directly towards our goal, so the easiest way to figure this out is by finding a spot where both those paths are the same distance.
What I did here is laid out our three sides flat for easy geometry (we have six sides, but this box is symmetrical). I will call the sides O, P, and F. We must make it so that Path1=Path2.
Path1=(a^2+b^2)^.5=(c^2+d^2)^.5=Path2
I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out the rest as an exercise.

Simmel's great, anon- truly a writer's writer. His style is reminiscent of both Max Weber and Charles Baudelaire (in Essays like The Painter of Modern Life) and his topics are almost always interesting- from fashion to the effects of metropolitan living on individual consciousness. His book on money's long and rather dense but concerns the social effects of money on all phases of life, there's nothing else out there really like it although Sloterdijk's book on Cynical Reason mirrors its form in the way (after contrasting modern cynicism with the classical variety) it shows how cynicism invades all phases or aspects of life as lived today. Also Thomas Kuhn's famous book came to mind when reading it, and I found myself thinking about (or dreaming about) what a shift in paradigmatic thinking must have come about when a money economy triumphed over one of barter many centuries ago.
