Geoffrey, I find that the debate on "climate truth" is a parallel to the debate on "financial truth": Here are a few quotes from the article below: "the World...

Dear Geoffrey et al. This is the kind of theorizing that's getting onto left-wing lists in the US. I suppose it would help if we could draft a standard...
Dear Michael. Briefly re. the following: One of many economists who offers insight into the method of money creation is Professor Herman Daly, formerly of the...
... Actually, I think Gunnar's response is deceptively brilliant. It provides a nice aphorism for an answer with the right jargon, as well as capturing the...
Hugh. More like deceptively common sense! The point at issue – debet = credit – caused somebody to resign from our Gang. And denounce us as “running dogs...

Geoffrey. The argument of Wicksell and Schumpeter quoted by Richard make NO mention of the Central Bank aspect. And, indeed, there is NO such aspect insofar as...
There was one member of the ERC who was against the others for he maintained that banks did not create money. His name was Thomas Bewley Haran, and in two...
Dear Geoffrey, Your points are wonderfully taken. But they must be amended in a few areas, above all your statement that ³the creation did not happen until...
... Interesting. If I were doing the accounting here, I would balance whatever asset/expense the government purchased with its government-issued money against...
Michael, Geoffrey is spot on when he says that Money is a relationship, as in fact "Property" is also a relationship, not an object. Wherever "Value" (ie...

Dear Geoffrey, AMI¹s point is that if a government PRINTS greenbacks (or otherwise monetizes them), then they don¹t NEED to borrow. If commercial banks can...
Dear Keith, ... This point of Prof. Ball is actually very similar to what the world looks like from Norway. I think these matters have a VERY different...
Dear Craig, Thank you for your nice and lenghty letter. Your do certainly have many good points and caught my attention. Although I agree with much, I still do...
