Banking is an old aged idea. It was around in the ancient Mesopotamia era. Martin A. Armstrong states, Mesopotamia illustrated all the modern practices such as, deposits, interests, loans, and letters of credit.” Armstrong also mentions how the ancient Egyptians showed signs of the banking. To quote Armstrong, “Egyptian sources also show that a vibrant banking industry emerged whereby the state provided warehouses in which farmers deposited their grain. In turn, the farmer would receive a “deposit receipt” reflecting how much wealth was held by the bank in question. Such written receipts eventually became used as a general method of making payment of debts to third parties during the Ptolemy era including trade, taxes and donations to the gods.” These banking ideas can be linked to money and how money has changed the power of people and countries. It can be proven throughout the history of that money, power, and banks are directly related. The banks and money relate to power because the more economic strength a country has the more they can do military wise. It can also be proved over time that money and power create issues that can be counterproductive to society.
In Niall Ferguson’s book, The Ascent of Money, Ferguson connects the conquering of the Incas to the start of the money mountain. When Pizarro and the Spaniards landed in the Inca territory for the second time, they came with a plan. Their plan was to conquer the Incas and strip them dry from their golden temples.
In the excerpt from “The Banking Concept of Education” the author, Paulo Freire explains the critical flaw in the current education system. He continues by offering his believed solution to this problem. The two concepts Freire discusses in this excerpt are the “banking concept” of education and the “problem-posing method” of education. The “banking concept” is talked about rather negatively, whereas the “problem-posing method” is talked about highly. Freire believes in the “problem-posing method” and that students should have free-will to a certain extent in the classroom with less authoritative power from the teacher during discussions.
The banking industry has over the years evolved from simple to large and complex organization. They have grown from one street building into having multiple branches some of which are international. Their clients range from individual and institutions to governments and other banks. Banks do not manufacture physical things. Their work is simply services for money (Koch & MacDonald 2010). Such services include storing, lending and managing money. All people and institutions, as well as governments, need money to operate accordingly.

The Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro has discovered a new land with inhabitants. The land he had settled in has been named San Miguel de Piura. The inhabitants he has encountered are being called the Incas aren't as intelligent but have temples made of gold. Their leader is Atahualpa and he has welcomed Pizarro and his men. They had discovered the Inca town while trekking through mountains. This has happened around November the 15th and the information is vague because he has been sending all of his letters to King Philip 3. Even with the alliances the Conquistadors will have to take the gold or convert the Incan empire. The group is going to try converting the incas to Christianity or they'll use force.

Even before the creation of the Federal Reserve, banks were used by the public just as we use them today. Deposits were made into savings accounts. Loans were taken out to mortgage a home or finance a new business. Banknotes were issued and spent when the public borrowed from the banks. Borrowers spent these banknotes just as paper money is spent today. These bank notes were valued as money since they were backed by the promise that they would be exchanged on demand for either gold or silver.
You have used money to measure the price, the size of business, total output in the economy, and income. Coins and paper money are called currency. People use currency daily. When you go to a movie, you probably buy a ticket with currency. Coins and paper money work well for small purchases and when payment is made directly from one person to another. But, for large purchases or when payments travels to mail, currency is not practical. A check is a written order to pay money from amounts deposited. Therefore, deposits in checking accounts, credit union share draft accounts, and other similar accounts are considered money. Remember that the most important function of money is as a
When Pizarro got back, he and his brothers discovered a group of people called the Incas. They saw that the Incas had a lot of gold and greed took them over. They tricked the Incan leader and captured him. The ransom to release the Incan emperor, Atahualpa, was to fill a room measuring 22 by 17 feet with gold. The Incas did fill the room but Pizarro killed the emperor anyway and conquered the Incas. When news of Pizarro’s conquest reached King Charles’ ears, he was overjoyed. He expanded the territory which Pizarro governed. A lot of South America was under Spanish rule. After all of the gold was divided between all of the leaders of the expedition and the king, each man got about $52,000 in Spanish pesos. That was a lot of money back then.

The Bank of the United States is a symbol of the long held American fear of centralization and government control. The bank was an attempt to bring some stability and control and was successful at doing this. However, both times the bank was chartered, forces within the economy ultimately destroyed it. The fear of centralization and control was ultimately detrimental to the U.S. economy.
In “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education,” from the Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Revised Edition, Paulo Freire discusses two different types of education: “banking” and problem-posing. The banking concept of education is when teachers “make deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize, and repeat” (318), and ‘problem posing’ is when the teachers and students are equal. Instead of being treated as human beings that have their own thoughts and ideas, students are treated as containers that are simply filled by a powerful being, a teacher. In school, teachers are dominants that provide knowledge to the students, the subordinates; the knowledge that students learn are limited to what they’re taught by teachers. Similarly, in Kurt Wimmer’s ‘Equilibrium’, Librians are treated as reservoirs for knowledge.
