The Solitary Tree by Casper David Friedrich, 1822 The forest is as powerful a forest in the painting of the period as in in literature, as we can see in work by the great romantic painter Casper David Friedrich en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_David_Friedrich ‘Der Einsame Baum,’ or ‘The Solitary Tree,’ painted in 1822. In the middle distance, set in a gentle green plain, is a village; in the background, a mountain range. And in the centre, in the foreground, dominating the composition, is a lone oak, its upper part battered and damaged, its lower branches in full leaf, giving shelter to a shepherd and his flock. Will Vaughan has studied the significance of his painting for German National consciousness. ~ Page 120

The present revolutionary change in the nature and uses of money constitutes the third great mutation in money. The first generation began with the invention of coins in Lydia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia nearly three thousand years ago and resulted in the first system to open and free markets. The invention and dissemination of coins and the accompanying market created a whole new cultural system -- the classical civilizations of the Mediterranean. The new monetary and market system ultimately spread around the world and gradually destroyed the great tributary empires of history. ~ xii Foreword
