  1. Heutiger Artikel in #ZON und der top Kommentar darunter.

    Eine detaillierte Erklärung, wie der Anleihenmarkt funktioniert und warum der top Kommentar korrekt ist, liefert mal wieder ein Video von Maurice Höfgen:

    Das aktuelle 2-stufige Geldsystem folgt der verqueren neoliberalen "Logik", dass Länder zu doof sind, ihre Finanzen (und vor allem Ausgaben) eigenverantwortlich/selbständig zu erledigen. Und dass es deswegen Geschäftsbanken (und in Folge u.a. auch Rating-Agenturen) braucht, die die Länder "überwachen" bzw. kontrollieren, indem die Länder ihnen Anleihen verkaufen müssen. Und diese Banken daran natürlich als netter Nebeneffekt auch sehr gut verdienen. DAS ist für die Banken wie Geld drucken.

  2. @phil_stevens @Antigrav on the same topic as your first point, this seems to provide the antidote, and a different narrative... youtube.com/watch?v=eLAJEeGGwaU Reckon we need a few more people in Aotearoa to get familiar with it so it can become part of the political discourse. #MMT #ModernMonetaryTheory

  3. Documentary Review: The Money Masters

    This 1996 documentary gives good lessons in Modern Monetary Theory.

    The focus on the documentary is how central banks shape society, with various conspiracy theories attached.

  5. Tirritate tax policy buffs by pronouncing t-a-x as 'currency sink', to make it sound more gamified and playful.

  6. "However, inflation control as we do it today is inefficient. Moreover, it is inhumane. In many countries, authorities target a rate of unemployment that they think will not cause inflation (NAIRU). In Kelton’s vivid words, this policy 'uses people as human shields against inflation'."

  7. "This is fantasy economics saying that we can just go on and on having higher debt, it's just not right… either our taxes are going to have to go up even more or… the state is going to have to do less"

    Rubbish.

    Tax does not pay for government expenditure. Money is created by sovereign currency governments. National debt is the amount of money in the economy.
