All I want for Christmas is a new political vision
Neoliberalism is dead. The wreckage it has created is all around us. So, this Christmas I want a new political vision. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for, is it?

    1) Banks create money out of thin air when they create loans and then charge interest on that newly created money. This should be illegal and we should only have "Full Reserve Banking" 2) For a 30 year mortgage, a person will have to work 15 years just to pay off the interest to a Bank, for money they created out of thin air by typing on a keyboard 3) Approximately 97% of all money in circulation is created by commercial banks, from debt, let that sink in 4) The government should be the only ones issuing new currency as a percentage of GDP or a percentage of population growth 5) Loans could be created from Investment Accounts, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending and Crowdfunding, Government or Public Lending Institutions, Equity-Based Financing

    If you don’t want to hate or afraid trump, all western governments should tried to invest in business development to compete with china. If a country is becoming poor and politician got rich that’s a sign of rebellion in politics. You already see it on Germany after ww1. That’s what’s happening now. Try to fix your politics first and blame trump later. I’m pointing out that you don’t think about people and their business. Put that fact in your next video. Stop living in china’s dream.

    If you're going to allow for high differences in wealth, if you're going to allow for big companies to consolidate wealth and capital, then you will end up with oligarchy, and eventually monarchy. I'm am American and only have limited knowledge of British history, but believe the British have some experience with monarchy and its pitfalls. For sure, the French have some bad blood with aristocrats, and it took them about a century to establish a republic. You may have to invent some means to transfer wealth from the plutocracy to the commons without violence. Or take seriously the tried and true alternatives.

    Why must we be afraid of mass protests and violent reprisals? Sometimes real social change demands it. It’s in the history of all democratic nations including the UK. Violent reprisals would result in a proportionate reaction in turn. Americans are not Russians and America for better or worse was founded on the principle of active antagonism not cooperation. At this point this may be the only option.

    MMT seems very ideological. I find it a bit irritating how you don't outline it's underlying assumptions. Like that only government can create money. Are you saying that money only appeared recently with advent of governments. What about societies without government that existed for most of human history? By redefining money as debt you also ignore the role of private stores of value which citizens can switch to when government issued money becomes worthless. This is exactly what happens in countries with high rates of inflation like Argentina created by MMT like theories of money printing.

    MMT says the solution to inflation caused by continuous printing of money is to increase taxation. Money is divisible and it is not essential to increase its supply. MMT guarantees the occurrence of inflation. MMT is nonsense.

  • @artisthespoonman
    @artisthespoonman 6 часов назад

    Seems a bit misleading to say that only the government can issue money. Is this MMT ideology. If there was no government issued money people could still trade other items as stores of value as they did before governments existed. Money is older than governments after all.

  • @OURCORZ
    @OURCORZ 7 часов назад

    My understanding is that the problem with Keynes is that increasing government spending during a downturn led to inflationary pressures that eventually would lead to increasing inflation when the economy returned to growth as the money injected into the economy stayed in circulation. As an idea has anyone ever tried time-limited money that has a shelf life and therefore decreases in value and eventually becomes worthless within a set timeframe ie 5 years. This would prevent people from holding on to the money and would be like crypto in reverse, demand would be created during the low point in the economic cycle and when the economy returned to productivity the inflationary money would be eventually removed. Spending would be at a high velocity in the beginning as people would spend as quickly as possible and not save (major issue during downturns), I would be interested if this is nonsense or could work or be adapted.
