@TheMathFlow @ShahramAzhar "The Bakhshali manuscript is indeed recognized as the earliest recorded origin of the symbol for zero. Discovered in India (near modern-day Peshawar, Pakistan), carbon-dating confirmed it dates back as early as the 3rd to 4th century CE."

Thus spoke Gemini.

[The Math Flow @TheMathFlow]

The Bakhshali manuscript (an ancient Indian mathematical text) is the world's earliest recorded origin of the symbol 'zero'(shunya-bindu).

What say you about this?

MMT is not wishful thinking. It is an abstract theory. It gives us information about what could be. But it is not what is, even in the UK.

#WolffBites: Chinese electric vehicles now dominate global markets (as do Chinese batteries, automotive software, etc.). USA similarly outcompeted in many other industries. Historic change in world economy will have many global effects.

Kalecki supposedly said macroeconomics is the art of confusing stocks and flows. Open macro, I’d add, is the art of confusing domestic-currency debt with foreign-currency debt. Keynes understood the difference. Very Serious People often don’t /1
