I have been working on The Almighty Dollar, a 500-year history of the world's most powerful money, for seven years. It changed the way I thought about money. It will be available on May 19th. People who have read it seem to like it. https://t.co/NJzoUMaS8k

@tomkeene Miss you guys

[Brendan Greeley @bhgreeley]

@audowla You can be as honest as you like. You’re reading! That’s all I can ask!

People are saying it's a very good book https://t.co/NJzoUMaS8k

I found this Odd Lots episode with @bhgreeley informative and entertaining.

I don't know why @tracyalloway refers to herself as a "former journalist," though. This podcast is good journalism, IMO.

This was such a fun interview.

From financial journalist covering the FOMC to financial historian writing a 500-year history of the dollar, @bhgreeley delivers! Fun and informative show today with @bhgreeley on his new book and his career journey.

What fundamentally is a dollar and who actually controls it?

On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, @bhgreeley tells @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway why the dollar is a lot older than you might suspect and goes way beyond the US and implicates the whole world. Listen at https://t.co/4IGHjM8pZe or watch at https://t.co/RkS8xgB3IL .

What I've been reading this weekend--and is off to an (unsurprisingly) excellent start. By @ChadBown & @SoumayaKeynes.

Will post a review when I'm done.

@GeorgeSelgin I'm curious to see what you think of my book, George. I think you'll disagree with some of my conclusions, but we still share a basic framework for thinking about how money is created.

[Brendan Greeley @bhgreeley]

@lsmlpp @Karl_Schamotta @nunopgpalma He's made the same argument for Spain as well; it's cited in the book.

[Karl Schamotta @Karl_Schamotta]

Interesting in the context of @bhgreeley’s new book on the dollar, in which he argues that Spain suffered from an early form of ‘Dutch disease’ once silver began flowing out of the Americas.

[Brendan Greeley @bhgreeley]

@Karl_Schamotta YOU READ IT!

[Brendan Greeley @bhgreeley]

@john_at_swan @cutupcado Sure. But monetary deflation can also happen when static base money accompanies economic growth -- through population or productivity. What we've seen in the past when this happens is exit. Rather than submit to deflation, people come up with their own local credit regimes.

[Brendan Greeley @bhgreeley]

When is @ChadBown in London and when is he in New York and when is he in Washington? He is always and everywhere! Bown is universal. Bown is oxygen.

[Soumaya Keynes @SoumayaKeynes]

We made some social media content about the thing

[Brendan Greeley @bhgreeley]

@john_at_swan @cutupcado The second is that no matter what the base asset is, it's hard to prevent people from establishing credit relationships with each other. Credit needs rules, rules need enforcement, and eventually you end up with a system that looks a lot like the one we have.

[Brendan Greeley @bhgreeley]

@john_at_swan @cutupcado I see two challenges with bitcoin as a base asset. The first is that it's inherently deflationary. Even if you subdivide into sats, the sats are inherently deflationary. Historically people have hated deflation as much as they have hated inflation.
