I´ll always remember my grandfather describing us the big inflation that hit Slovakia. It came like a bolt from the blue. You could have a real fortune or just money you needed to live, everything was away. Children were blanking barley – mows from banknotes, that were worth a cow only a week ago. It was a very sad event, you could see many men crying of desperation, because all their labour was gone and they could do nothing about it.
However, not everybody earns his living that honest way. We live in a world of capitalism, which is full of people, who want to be rich doing anything except virtuous work. They falsify bank bills, they steal, they manipulate bank accounts and they are even able to kill without any wringing of conscience. Now, let´s move to our Pehenicien. He must have been really very content of his invention, though personally I think that if our man had known how the money influences us nowadays he wouldn´t have created it.
