Money : the missing manual

This post is about a book called "money: the missing manual". I got to know this book from Blog Walking that I've done. This book tell the story of the people of our generation that didn't have enough education about money in the school. We got to learn mathematics, science, literature, history, and so on, but not money, not tax.
The problem is that  "money" is even bigger problem that should be tackled by most people, considering he lives in the modern society and not inside the cave. 
Cavemen didn't have enough complex economic and socio culture under the impression of money. Just think about it. Every damn advertisement in every corner you see and hear is to make money move from one people to another people. Cavemen didn't need to care about how society think about him when he doesn't have a car. Cavemen didn't need to care how his neighbor would think about his house, about how much IKEA product standing in his room. Cavemen not need that, cavemen live with the solely purpose of living and, you know, having sex breeding. He live in the way that nature bring him all he need, but of course, he must get to work to get it. It just men against nature.

But all was too different for this "modern" people, which have more complex shit to be thinking when you be a part and member of society. Society in which now being captured by capitalism in every corner that scream "consume! consume! consume!" that diluting of simple and holy purpose of the cavemen: survive and having funto make a baby, preserve next generation of human. Modern People Thinking that intoxicated by  short term happiness of buying, of owning, of destroying, but not really creating, not really independent of what to do in his own time to be alive as the perpose was changing into become the not really so able to understand what his purpose are, other than what every corner of advertisement tell him to do.
