ONE NIGHT IN THE ANCIENTS LAND FAR AWAY SOMEONE DECIDED THERE WAS A NEED FOR A WALL. IT IS NOW CALLED THE WALL OF THE ANCIENT LAND.
BUT THE KING DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO BUILD IT SO HE HAD TO RAISE THE MONEY. EACH SECTION OF THE WALL WAS PAID FOR BY SOMEONE OR BY A GROUP. IN REUTRN THEY GOT TO INSCRIBE A SHORT PHRASE OR WORD ON THE WALL.

IN MODERN TIMES THE PROBLEM IS HOW TO PROVIDE GOODS, SERVICES AND ASSESS LONG RANGE NEEDS. AND PAY FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
IN ORDER TO FUND THESE GOODS AND SERVICES, PEOPLE RAISE MONEY IN THE FORM A STOCK OWNERSHIP AND OR LOANS FROM BANKS.

STOCK: A PARTNERSHIP OR GROUP OF OWNERS. THE OWNERS ARE PAID A DIVIDEND. IT IS HOPED THAT THE PRODUCTION, EXCHANGE, BARTER OR SALE OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES WILL ALSO EARN MONEY. EVERYONE WHO PAID IN WAS AN OWNER WHO WILL RECEIVE A DIVIDEND, WHICH IS A SHARE OF THE PROFITS, ALONG WITH THE SALARY FOR THE MANAGERS AND THE LABORERS WILL GET A FAIR WAGE.
SOME INEQUITIES WERE REMOVED BY LAWS PERMITTING LABOR UNIONS.

LOANS. THE BANKS OR PRIVATE INVESTORS ARE LENDING THE USE OF THEIR MONEY AND IN RETURN ARE PAID A FEE FOR THE USE OF THE FUNDS.
THE USE OF THE MONEY IS GIVEN UP FOR A PERIOD SO THAT THE INVESTORS HAVE LOST THE USE OF IT DURING THAT TIME. (consider it a rental.) THEY ARE COMPENSATED WITH A FEE. THE FEE IS THE INTEREST.
