Why is money needed at the globalization time?
(instead of epigraph)

If we observed the intentions and expectation of modern elite and mass we would reveal some certain tendencies. The first one is globalization. The leaders of this process are extremely excited, as like the first astronomers they have just understood that the Earth is round. At the same time the first consequence of globalization has become realization by many people that the Earth is not quite a big globe and there may not be enough place for everybody on it. You know, a reliable and protected place costs much. However life is going, and an integral component of global economic process is the daily work of hundreds and hundreds million people for enriching, well being or even for existing. The equivalent of the provided and stable man's life is the presence of some sum of money with him. In the consuming society money has gained a sense of an original magic panacea. And this is not an incident, it is a rule.

At the same time of the process of globalization the process of sexibility of the society is lasting. A part of sex is steadily increasing in the system of up-to-date commodity relations. The sex merchants have chances to earn more money than the oil ones. Here is the passage from the novel "Platform" by Michael Velbeck: "Hundreds million citizens of the developed countries: they will have got all they wish except one -it is sexual satisfaction. They are looking for it and cannot find it and therefore they are absolutely unhappy. On the other hand, milliards of people who have nothing are starving, dying when being young, having insanitary living conditions. They have nothing for sale except their own body and their undepraved sexuality. What cannot be understood here? It is as clear as a day: ideal conditions for exchange. You can earn an unbelievable sum of money with this. Why is an information science, biological technology or mess media needed to take? - No sector of economy cannot be taken to compare."

Long before Velbeck an Indian mystics when observing the west society had emphasized that a greater amount of people works hard in order to provide themselves with a reliable and guaranteed sex. With this money serves not only as a pledge of sex, but also as a virtual guarantee of health and as a death's putting off.

The changes happening in the process of globalization have not an evolutional but revolutional nature. Art cannot keep away from this. Having changed the picture on the money (notes and coins) and having unified them into the universal global name, we can influence on the people' consciousness. New global money is needed!

We are in a habit of using money with a picture of portraits of recognized or forgetable politicians of the countries, where the money has been printed. We even don't think over the fact that with the help of these "papers", it means with portraits of respectable people, one client pays the killer for his competitor's murder, the other client pays the prostitute's service. This list can be gone on for a long time. Money has too deeply got into natural processes of human life and death having become an original changable part of human body. In nowadays context in the first place they poison a human consciousness.

As the process of globalization is considered to take as non-return, we must take it as a chance. The money we usually use has mostly positive image. There represent assured, distinct and far-seeing looks of national heroes on the notes. All negative connecting with money is not advertised and even on the contrary is painstakingly to become all-embracing in the conditions of globalization in order to be effective. We must confess honestly that money is used not only for humane goals. Their invisible side must be discovered.

The most paradoxical action in this case will be putting the global money into practice. Money means acts (notes) and copulations (a coin). The name is tied to the most prominent instinct which is practised and respected all over the world.

Only the notes with the reproduction of acts on them will be adequate due to the present sense of money. The acts can be not only bookish but also brothel. Civilized characters are not only positive but negative. There are pictures of not only urbanic Utopia but anti-Utopia on them... The modern "life truth" is like this.

A proposed "global money reform" will deprive money of infernality which is peculiar to them, and will make them corresponding to the life. Famous masterpieces of different times and nations and also new created compositions will show "acts" and "copulations" (see the sample). Artists can observe more than a Philistine. The ruling elite ought to realize it and afterwards to give a chance to itself and average consumers to have a look on money unselfishly.

Finally, if we don't do this and nowadays politic and economic processes are still going on and becoming intensified it will be quite possible that some time or other the mankind will be back to the natural exchange again. And for some purpose in his famous textbook "Economics" Paul Samuelson etymologically deduces a modem meaning of "money" from the word cattle.

(instead of epilogue)
You may be absolutely disagree with what you have already read. And as your own answer we shall propose you to ask yourself a question "Why money is needed?.." several times running.
