sorry, I was unclear. I meant authorization to change money. some 
countries need to protect their money, so if you want to buy a service 
in say europe, you'll need an authorization to convert the local money 
to euros. There are many reasons for this. an example is when the value 
of the money inside the country is higher than the value of the same 
money outside the country (so that locals can buy more things...). if 
there was no control, then you'd buy money inside the country and sell 
it oustide, ... etc.

so when you live in such countries and you want to buy services from say 
Europe, you need to ask for an authorization (because you will be 
exchanging the local money for Euros).

It has nothing to do with morons. Not all countries are rich enough to 
allow free money transfer.

And anyway, many people risk their lives to leave their country for more 
wealthy ones...
