Civilization, or culture, is fundamentally commercial and only superficially political. Politics has been superimposed, and man has become politically disposed, because he has fallaciously believed that, as a money sponsor and issuer, the state is necessary to the commercial intercourse upon which his life depends. When he learns that he can have a monetary system without political authority and unconfined by political boundaries, he will cast off his political shackles and develop, through commerce, a civilization far higher than any attainable or dreamed under political dictates.
