“Question 4: Why are your cities deserted today. Why have you abolished the role of money, the system of monthly wages, and the trade network? Answer (Pol Pot): We had to ask the people to go and live in the countryside in order to solve the food problem. … Staying in the cities meant starvation… As for the question of money … It is up to the people. If the people want to use money again, we will use money again. If they see that it is not necessary, it is up to them.”
