Abstract

The Smarandache anti‐geometry is a non‐euclidean geometry that denies all Hilbert’s 20 axioms, each axiom being denied in many ways in the same space. In this paper, one finds an economics model to this geometry by making the following correlations: a point is the balance in a particular checking account, expressed in US currency (points are denoted by capital letters); a line is a person, who can be a human being (lines are denoted by lower case italics); and a plane is a US bank, affiliated to the FDIC (planes are denoted by lower case boldface letters).
