  1. Even Fallout's New California Republic had currency backed with water, not near-water.

    Gresham's Law would describe Coors only finding the respect of the captive poor with craft beers and other beverages reserved for the rich and for export. What a terrible fate for such a quintessentially "lawnmower beer," which used to be marketed on the basis that it could be served cold.

  5. MMT 101: Governments create all the money that we use. They also give it all of it’s value.

    Now reverse that and think what happens if crypto creates the money we use?

    Yup. They become enarmored with powers of the government to some extent. I don’t want crime rings to mingle with my government!

    Yet: This is precisely what the Trump administration is doing. This is their most important project of all! 🥶

  10. Government "deficit spending" is the nation-state creating money (out of thin air) and exchanging it.

    The payroll tax (FICA) does not fund Social Security or Medicare. Like all other federal agencies, those agencies are funded by dollars created on purpose by the government (using laws from Congress) and placed in their accounts by the Treasury.

  15. "Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is a hip economic/financial paradigm apparently sweeping a world unsatisfied with mainstream economics. Over the past year, I have been hearing a growing number of people refer to MMT: either fans who think it blows up my Austrian views, or foes who think it deserves a full-scale critique." mises.org/mises-daily/upside-d #mmt #economics #austrianeconomics #monetarytheory #mmtfallacy

  21. @52fighters

    I'm with M. Grégoire; I don't buy "Modern Monetary Theory", which seems to be half witchcraft and half voodoo (as opposed to economics in the normal way a la Henry Hazlitt). I assure you, I'm not ignorant of economics.

    The money for national government spending comes from three sources: taxes collected, bonds issued, or simple monetary inflation (i.e. printing money). The latter two have negative impacts on an economy, but on different timescales.

    If you artificially throttle taxes collected, then you force the government to choose one of the other two. And as I said, that will cause the feds pain.

  26. "#Money, and the forms it takes in a society, is as much about social norms as it is about pure economic efficiency," writes Esward Prasad in his book "The Future of Money" in the opening to chapter seven. Exactly.
