@ProfSteveKeen@DanielJHannan Calling 1960–74 “pre-neoliberal” and everything after 1975 “neoliberal” is not analysis. It compares a postwar reconstruction boom with oil shocks, aging, mature economies and multiple global crises, then assigns the entire difference to an undefined ideology.
@DEhnts Zimbabwe didn't run out either. Which is precisely why the IMF had to step in.
Hyperinflation you are advocating for is not a path to prosperity.
@MMTmacrotrader Gov borrows existing private savings, then returns those $ as interest. Deposit flow: net $0. Debt remains, requiring future taxes and refinancing.
When rates rise, fixed-rate bond prices must fall. That’s math, not opinion.
You are clueless how it all works. Stop talking.
@MMTmacrotrader Fiscal debt not "add"
Gov borrows $100 of existing $s to spend $100 right back. Net $0 fiscal "add"
Plus $100 of fiscal DEBT! The tax payers will have to pay with future output.
@DavidMcNab17@antonliubich True, banks don’t lend reserves.
But that’s a moot point.
Banks still need assets greater than liabilities, capital, collateral, creditworthy borrowers, and settlement ability.
A bank loan is not magic. It is a legally binding claim on future output.
@DavidMcNab17 You dont know what austerity means.
Nor do you know what Neoliberalism means.
Stop using these words. You are using them completely backwards of their meaning.
@DavidMcNab17 Currency means coin/paper notes.
Gov can mint coins.
Fed paper notes. (Not Gov)
Neither can counterfeit & spend.
Gov can mint, tax/borrow.
Gov doesn't pay with coins.
You are confusing the thing (coins) that represents money with money. Its not.
Money is a claim on output.
@DavidMcNab17@Labourheartland Regulators already control the price.
Ownership does not repeal cost.
Nationalization moves the bill; it does not make the bill vanish.
@FrenchTwist4@DEhnts No!
MMT claims Gov can spend nothing first & magically creates "resources"
0-1=1 it doesn't it=0
Raw Resources are not created by symbols on a ledger. WRONG!
Greenspan blew MMT up! It's
Real resources valued at exchanged that create value for claims on output. Not symbols ($)
