I endorse Chris's comments. In the long run (and long before we are all dead), credit for asset purchase will either extinguish a debt of flow into the...
Perfectly possible. Interbank lending should be used to balance the books of a bank which has lent more than its deposits with the excess deposits (of equal...
I did not bother to read all this paper as the writer needs to use more thought and less mathematical modelling. The problem Japan has is nothing to do with...

. Dear Gang: I know I am supposed still to be working on my creditary economics book - it's stuck in the mid 19th century - but from the outset I included...
Dear Chris, Very interesting. As you may know, I have been re-working the quantity equation in a creditary framework, with, I believe, considerable empirical ...
. Dear Gang: I can see nothing to stop the UK housing market declining for some time yet. The one figure I have in mind is the aftermath to the "great gazump"...
Chris, Indeed! One could go a step further and make their allocation decisions concerning credit open and subject to a combination of democratic and economic...
Hi Richard and others, (note - I include the whole Gang8 yahoogroup as this is indeed of general interest) Thanks for sharing your experience with mainstream...
Dear Dirk, The 'genuine' reason is not that genuine: 1) units of transactions are valued in nominal monetary terms, but are not normally measured in...

Dear Chris, Dear Gang8 Members, Thanks for your message. I agree that the use of credit is key. Analytically, to get a handle on this, the first step should be...
Hi Richard, Good discussion. This is about key issues. I also look forward to the views of others. Pity Geoffrey is holidaying. In response: 1) you write that...
Dear Dirk. Briefly re. the following: So I would tentatively agree with you that credit causes growth, but I would agree with referees that econometric work...

Hi Dirk, Briefly, on the issue of whether the claim that something is true by definition means that one agrees with it, I think one cannot escape this logic....
One more comment on empirical evidence. It is important, of course, to employ the general-to-specific econometric methodology. Unlike the approach common in...
Dear Dirk. Once again, the point at issue concerns analytical vs. empirical economics. Think of it this way: 1. An Entrepreneur has $1000 on hand – this...
Hi Richard, Thanks for your further explanation. But ... I remain unconvinced. Your critics do escape that logic that you find so inescapable. Are they ...
Hi Dirk, I am not sure you reflect what I wrote. I don't even mention the word 'causality' in my previous e-mail, although yours seems to be all about it. To...
Hi Richard, Well, we are both baffled by why critics do not accept an approach that you and I find so evidently helpful. I think the key in understanding that...

Dear Lian, Thanks for engaging. A brief question: is not all money credit-money? Or do you mean by credit-money only FRESHLY created loans? After all, ALL...
