Radix is the Latin name for a root, any root, and in English it is used in words that describe the fundamentals, the foundation, the essentials of a particular subject. Everything begins with a root that feeds the rest of the plant, that is a fact of life. The Earth grew out of a Cosmic event, flowers grow from seeds, the large evolves from the smaller.
On linked-In in the White House group I have asked the question, “Where does money come from?” and so far I have been told from the printers, from commerce and from the means of production. All good and all somehow true but none of them have found the essential, the root basis of where money comes from.
Which is strange because I would have thought amongst all these avid money makers the root or their commercial enterprises would be something they would know immediately because even if they had not been taught it they could work it out quickly enough. It isn’t difficult. Or maybe it is, when what you have been taught is to argue over the assumptions your society has already made and not to question the assumptions themselves. I hope others answer this question because it fascinates me how lost people are in the mire of their poor thinking.
