It is a good thing that Wal-Mart is encouraging more humane standards in its supplier's factories.

• If government manages to establish paper tickets or bank credit as money, as equivalent to gold grams or ounces, then the government, as dominant money-supplier, becomes free to create money costlessly and at will.
