The Power of Money: How Ideas about Money Shaped the Modern World

Product Information

If you’re ever in a position where you’re unable to make decisions for yourself, no one has the legal authority to make these decisions for you. Not even your immediate family. This is true even if you lose capacity just temporarily. An LPA allows someone else to make decision about your finances. It can come into use if you lose mental capacity, or if you want someone else to be able to make decisions for you when you still have mental capacity.

Attorneys appointed to act together (also known as joint attorneys) – this means they must always act together. The advantage of this arrangement is that it makes it harder for an attorney to commit fraud or do something against the interests of the donor. The disadvantage, is that the whole power of attorney comes to an end if one attorney dies or becomes mentally incapable.

Many people commenting on economic matters, including those from financial institutions, appear not to understand what money is and how it is created. Comments such as “the public finances will be placed under strain” or “the public purse cannot afford this” are facile. One commentator on UK macroeconomics calls this “media macro”. Government programmes should be assessed against the criteria outlined in the two quotes above. The money can - and should - be made available if it is deemed desirable to society. Co-op Legal Services can help you to put either one or both types of LPA in place, with comprehensive guidance and support throughout. In Scotland, only a prescribed person can confirm that you are capable and able to grant the Power of Attorney. As part of the process, a solicitor registered to practise law in Scotland or a registered UK medical doctor must carry out an interview with you and confirm that you understand the nature and impact of making a Power of Attorney. If a person has something to sell and wants something else in return, the use of money avoids the need to search for someone able and willing to make the desired exchange of items. The person can sell the surplus item for general purchasing power—that is, “money”—to anyone who wants to buy it and then use the proceeds to buy the desired item from anyone who wants to sell it.
