Explain the following lines taken from the selection, Imagination and Reality by J. Winterson:
.” Money culture recognizes no currency but its own. Whatever is not money, whatever is not making money, is useless to it. The entire efforts of our government as directed through our society are efforts towards making more and more money. This favors the survival of the dullest. This favors those who prefer to live in a notional reality where goods are worth more than time and where things are more important than ideas.”

8, Q4) Hey, need help with the following multi-part macroeconomics problem. Thank you in advance!
In this problem, consider a simple mutual fund. Households and businesses invest in the fund by buying shares; the fund uses this money, in turn, to invest in a range of assets, including equities and bonds. If an investor wishes to divest from the fund, she can “redeem” her shares. Redeeming involves selling the shares back to the mutual fund for a price called the “net asset value” (NAV). The NAV is equal to the difference between assets and liabilities, divided by the total number of investors in the fund (similar to the shareholders’ equity discussed in this chapter). The NAV is updated at the end of each day. Thus every investor who redeems on a given day will get the same price.
What does this fund’s balance sheet look like?
Suppose several large investors in the mutual fund start getting nervous about market conditions and decide to redeem, all on the same day. How will these…

Could you add more information regarding the below statement?
"I do agree with the notion that the Federal Reserve is the most important financial institution in the world. The reason being that it plays such a pivotal role in the economy - for better or for worse. For example, the federal reserve supervises banking institutions and provides many financial services to the U.S government. In addition, the federal reserve has the power to regulate the economy when it is unstable. For example, the Federal Reserve has the ability to manipulate interest rates in order to stabilize the economy when it is needed most. Overall, without the Fed, the economy would have a much more difficult time maintaining itself. When it comes to inflation specifically, I do believe that the Federal Reserve should step in as it is their responsibility. I think that increasing interest rates could be a significant help, but I think that decreasing the money supply/circulation as well as selling bonds could help…
