The Bio System Analogy to Explain the Backbone of the Banking System
December 4th, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized — Economic Author
In the biosystem of the human body we have a series of nerves, veins, and sensors. We also have major components of our bodies that we can’t do without. If we look at the human body in all its complexity, we can begin to understand nation’s banking system. After all, the flow of blood and information in the body is paramount to a healthy human. Likewise, the flow of money and information is omnipotent for a healthy banking system and nation.
Have you ever slept on your arm incorrectly, and you wake up and you can’t move it or feel it? Well, it obviously it isn’t getting the right blood flow, and you aren’t getting any information from it. Therefore, is completely useless, and it is a drag on anything that you’re trying to do. What if your arm was a state which grew a large percentage of the crops for our nation? And what if it wasn’t getting the right flow of money, or the banking system was not working in that region of our country? The farmers cannot get the money they need to deliver the crops, and therefore, the nation wouldn’t do as well either.
In the body we are talking about essentially the same thing. We are talking about a complex system which relies on all of its parts. When we use false data to make decisions, we end up putting our hands in the wrong place, because we can’t feel what we’re doing. If we aren’t getting money flow or blood flow to where it needs to be, the system cannot function properly.
Now then, I hope this analogy helps you, next time you are listening to a congressional debate, or a group of senators talking with the secretary of treasury of the United States, or the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Sometimes abstract thinking this way, can help everyone understand what’s really going on, and what we are really talking about here.
