Comments
The only way the world can be less dependent on money is the HARD WAY i.e the KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM and POWER OF GOD.
But wait a minute, 1Corinthians 1:24 says: But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Romans 11:33 ¶ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

The more we depend on money, the more we lose control over value. Money economically speaking encourages specialization. This is an ideal case. But, today’s scenario is that individual, organizations and institutions focuses on what brings money, whether or not it’s of great value. We today equates money to value. Example of this is that today emphasis in some less developed nation is more on entertainment pursuit than innovative and scientific pursuit. Another example is how governments of nations till date could not abolish tobacco industry despite the confirmation by medical experts
That tobacco smoking is responsible for lung cancer. All is because of tax base accruable from company and personal income tax. Instead some governments insist that tobacco companies inscribe “smokers are liable die young” o their advert pages. What a misnomer.
Hence, when the sense of direction is towards the part of greatest money return, we tend to lose our grip on knowledge, wisdom and power.
The engine that power value is knowledge, wisdom and power whatever it is today that is of value is a product, of processing of knowledge, wisdom and power. In the same way whatever it is today that is not of value has not passed through the processing of knowledge, wisdom and power.
It therefore works this way that peoples’ perception is a function of the amount of knowledge, wisdom and power they possess which in turn determines and inform their opinion of what is value.
The above ascertain simply explain why inhabitant of very resources rich nation emigrates outside the region, and while expatriates from less resources-rich, but developed region immigrate to those resources-rich region for business pursuit.
