               BECOMING YOUR OWN BANKER

               tant business in the world! Without it, all business
               comes to a screeching halt. Whenever a business
               transaction takes place, money must flow from one
               party to another in a relatively short time or, other-
               wise, nothing takes place. That flow of money must
               come from a supply source, a reservoir. That is the
               essence of what the banking business is all about;
               some one or some organization has control of a
               pool of money that can (and must) flow, at a cost,
               to meet some need.
                    There is only one pool of money in the world.
               The fact that this pool is managed by any number
               of institutions: banks, insurance companies, cor-
               porations, and individuals in various countries with
               various currency denominations is incidental. To
               argue otherwise would be the equivalent of some-
               one looking at the globe and observing that the
               Amazon River in South America flows into the
               Atlantic Ocean and commenting that “this has noth-
               ing to do with the Indian Ocean on the other side
               of the globe.”
