The US is an exception because as a global world of currency there’s so many dollars out there, so we basically run these persistent trade deficits and then foreigners reinvest a lot of those trade deficits back into borrowing our treasuries. The US is a bit of an exception because most developed countries don’t heavily rely on foreign borrowing. A lot of our emerging markets use that strategy because they don’t have a lot of domestic wealth, but that sets up a lot of risk for them because they usually borrow in currencies that they don’t control. The next set is if they kind of run out of domestic borrowers, you can only issue so much debt that domestic balance sheets are willing to hold, so you can also borrow from the foreign sector. I use that as an example of a good one that you might want to pull forward for and get that bill right away because it led to a lot of productivity. For example, back when under the Eisenhower administration when they wanted to build the highway system. But then they also, if they want to kind of pull forward spending they can issue bonds that the public buys, banks buy, and so that basically extracts more money out of the economy and allows them to redeploy that money into the economy now. So all four of the forums involve taxing the people and then redeploying that capital back into the economy in a way that either the government sees fit, or if it’s a democracy that the voters see fit on behalf of the government. Sure, yeah so the four models of government financing that I went over in the article, so the first one is simple.

Could you start off our discussion with a summary of that and we’ll jump in from there. But I think there’s less of an understanding of quantitative easing and of the air apparent monetary policy, modern monetary theory among bitcoiners, and I think it’s important to understand. You lay out four ways that governments can finance spending a debt and the first two I think are well known, they’ve been around for a long time, it’s just traditional borrowing from citizens through bonds or other countries. So Lyn, like I said, we’ll start with you. I’m sorry, your book Jeff in detail and Lyn’s article, Quantitative Easing, MMT, and Inflation/Deflation. The discussion is outlined in both of your books in detail. Also an entrepreneur, Jeff welcome.Īll right, so Lyn we’re going to start out with you and we’re going to discuss a couple of topics, set of topics that you both have much expertise in.

And that would be out of date pretty quickly if that book was published. No, it’s not The Price of Bitcoin, The Price of Tomorrow.
