Money isn't worth anything if they don't circulate. Do you have sales taxes in the UK? Here in Sweden a certain ammount of the money would go to the state, thus the transaction would be of gain to society.

No, it's fake economy. Like those non-existing islands in the Pacific.

I don't agree. Damage is done when the money is just lying there. If Harrod's decide to put the money in a big bag then there would be a problem.

That's exactly what happens. They invest it again in something equal worthless. It's making one big balloon wich can burst anytime when it has become too big to maintain itself.

Perhaps. But that doesn't make this unique transaction into a bad thing. That's about the behaviour of the owners of the money, not about the transaction itself.

This transaction shows that the behaviour of the owner of the money is utterly irresponsible.

True, but that still doesn't make the transaction into a bad thing. :-)
Hopefully, Harrod's will invest the money wisely so that the money can contribute to the creation of more jobs. They shouldn't be allowed to just hold on to it, as that would be a crime both against socialistic ideas aswell as capitalistic ones.

Yes! Exacly! The transaction is irrelevant!

The only thing that JT is good for would be transplanting organ to other people. :-)

@Dan
Aye! I can agree with that!
It's hard to work your way to the top without jumping between companies. Todays capitalistic systems are about to go just as far out as the communistic system did in the Soviet Union.

"The space merchants" are about to become reality! :nervous:
