Texte sur l'alchimie, 17e siècle
George Starkey (aka Eirenaeus Philalethes) was fervently opposed to the commercial society that was developing around him. He detested the kind of power that money conferred and believed that private property and money served to undermine morality and religion in dangerous ways. To that effect, he was interested in the multiplication of gold only in order to dismantle the entire monetary mechanism. Starkey wrote, “I hope and expect that after a few more years money will be common, and this fulcrum of the Antichristian monster will fall down into rubbish, for the populace goes mad, and whole races are insane to have this useless weight rather than God. Will this not attend our imminent and so long expected redemption?
Fulcrum = idée de pivot, mais j'ai du mal à bien formuler cette phrase. Merci d'avance

ce support de l'Antechriste s'effrondrera
L'idée de l'argent comme soutien/support du monstre ne devrait pas être mise de coté, et il ne s'agit pas de "complicité", mais plutôt de "soutien support, appui".

Ops, sorry, je corrige: Antéchrist, et pas la bêtise qui m'a échapée!
Donc, "Ce support de l'Antéchrist s'effrondrera" (comme certains marchés...)
