description: Money - in the traditional sense - no longer exists. It died to decades ago when Richard Nixon forever abolished the gold standard. Since then, money as we once knew it has been replaced by an unstable new global medium of exchange that Joel Kurtzam calls "megabyte money".This strange new world is far more volatile and chaotic than anything that has preceded it; it involves not goods, services, or raw materials, but speculation, "weitless dollars," and transactions made purely for finacial gain.
