Lincoln had a good grasp on monetary policy, so why did he resort to violence...

End The Fed!!!

...when capitalism = end of slavery? Capitalism could have ended slavery. The Civil War was NOT necessary to end slavery. Capitalism would have done it peacefully. Why? Slavery was very inefficient.

The fundamental difference between free and slave labor is that a freemen have an incentive to produce as much as possible. Whereas the slave will most likely perform at the bare minimum necessary to avoid punishment. For this reason slave labor, as an institution, is inferior to an economy based on free labor. A free market economy will always perform better than a slave economy because a slave economy cannot compete in a market that values quality goods.

Lincoln knew what the private banking cartels were up to and printed his own money to undermine their lawless greed. By doing so, he obviously had a good understanding of economics. So why would he resort to something so brutal as declaring War on his own country when a stance on monetary policy would yield the same results?

@hi: wow....that's what you got out of my details? Why don't you re-read my points on how slavery would have become extinct thanks to free-market labor.....
@desdamona: lol, what!? "I'm" a liberal? HAHAHAHAH.... "I am so sick and tired of all of the insipid liberal (stupid) rants against Palin and Beck, and Bush #43 " ...where did that come from? Where did YOU come from anyway?

If posing to be a conservative, you should bring more intellect to the table... as No religion in this pub has demonstrated.

My questions are sometimes based on curiosity and are usually intended to be thought-provoking. ...but apparently you're too smart for that.
