“Money is indispensable to a long-circuit heavy load energy system. It must be used when a sufficient surplus is being produced to allow a margin for exchange, and cost of transport, over a considerable distance. Money represents a storage battery when idle, and a generalized mode of the conversion of energy when it is in motion, with a function of equating time and space.” LongUsedEnergySpaceCostFunctionDistanceHeavyConversionSufficientLoadIdleIndispensableTime And SpaceMarginsTransportCircuitsBatteriesSurplusStorageHeavy Loads Book:God of the Machine Source: God of the Machine

“Once we had a rail station in Montgomery that connected to Columbus and went all the way up to Virginia, slave traders could transport thousands of slaves at a fraction of the cost than they could transport by boat, and certainly by foot. And that's how Montgomery became such an active slave-trading space.” WaySpaceFeetCostSlaveConnectedActiveBoatStationsTradingVirginiaTransportFractionsRailColumbusTradersMontgomerySlave Trade Author:Bryan Stevenson
