Also found this, a professor of economics giving a presentation of what he thinks will result from the financial crisis.

Sure he's just one guy, so make of it what you will.

I'd like to see his 'And this how I'd do things' speech
Old news in a new wrapper.
I suggest if he doesn't like the United Kingdom Corporation i suggest he relocates to a different Corporation.
I personally prefer my Corporation to most.

I do have some issues with it though, the main one being that money is worthless. I know the actual notes and coins are worthless but what they represent aren't. For instance, a man uses his expertise and knowledge to fix my bike, I give him some money, that I have earnt using whatever particular skill I have in my trade. We are exchanging services but using money as a medium.
What is the alternative, back to bartering?
I found all the other stuff, particularly the person and human being parts, very interesting. |
Its not about money or bartering, its about whether the money has a value attached to it which is tied to something like gold, rather than it just be worth what the money supply and other factors make it worth.
Generally, our society does well by creating more paper or electronic money than our real assetts, and then trading them for goods and services, but some countries have systems where there isnt as much money floating around, as a bank can only loan out what it has in the form of savings accounts.
Having a completely fluid debt and money system, where debts can be traded with no real idea of the chances of the debt being repaid, have caused our financial crisis. ____________________ colin1 is officially faster than god |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 17 years, 236 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
