Currency

Back in February (an age ago), I mused about the role of consuming and producing in our economy:  we’re always either consuming or producing.

The next step in that thinking is about the economic sectors, which are:

• Primary: Natural resources

• Secondary: Manufacturing and processing

• Tertiary: Services and distribution

• Quaternary: Knowledge and information

The current scenario has us very focused on all those sectors, probably with a different view than we had six weeks ago.  And the question I keep wondering, along with others I’ve spoken to, is –the money circulating furiously six weeks ago, I wonder where it has gone.
