Modern Money Theory Lecture 3 Campinas Aug 2018 Professor L.Randall Wray
Modern Money Theory Lecture 3 Campinas Aug 2018 Professor L.Randall Wray Reaction to MMT • Federal government spends through keystrokes that credit bank accounts so it can afford anything for sale in dollars. • The reaction typically goes through four stages: • 1. Incredulity: That’s Crazy! • 2. Fear: Zimbabwe! Weimar! • 3. Moral Indignation: You’d destroy our economy! • 4. Anger: You’re a Dirty Pinko Commie Fascist! Ingham: Money is an institution; record of a social relation • Money is social in 3 ways: -produced outside mkt; no ind is free to produce own M; must be legitimately sanctioned; counted by those who count -monetary exch consists in social relation; unlike barter; involves an IOU -today, money-stuff consists in symbol of state’s or bank’s promise to pay Alternative: Modern Money • Use of currency and value of M are based on the power of the issuing authority, not on intrinsic value. • State played central role in evolution of M. • From beginning monetary system mobilized resources • One Nation, One Currency Rule • Separate currencies not a coincidence. Tied up with sovereign power, political independence, fiscal authority. • TAXES DRIVE MONEY: • State chooses money of account, imposes obligation denominated in that unit, issues currency denominated in that unit, and accepts its own currency in payment of the obligations Fiscal Constraints • Economists: Unsustainable debt path! • 70% of Americans say progress on Deficit needed • Chinese might stop lending to us! • Zimbabwe and Weimar hyperinflation! • Burden our grandkids! • Look at Euroland! • Sovereign debt crisis • Default risk • Bond vigilantes Thomas Smith 1832 • Paper money has no intrinsic value; it is only an imputed one; and therefore, when issued, it is with a redeeming clause, that it shall be taken back, or otherwise withdrawn, at a future period.

Banking: Reading
Banking: Reading The concept of banking may have been a good one initially but I can’t help feeling that in today’s world there are less people benefiting. Of course it’s good to know that your money is safe and sound, but it does seem strange to pay an organization for having your money when they make a profit from this. The charges nowadays in some banks (and different banks in different countries vary enormously) are incredible. Some charge for an overdraft facility even if you don’t go overdrawn, some charge every time you take money out (your money!) while others charge for closing an account! If you’re not careful, it’s a way of losing money rather than keeping it safe. Perhaps because of this there are some interesting alternative money systems. In fact there are some banks that don’t use money at all. Time banks are an example of this. Instead of Pounds, Dollars, Euros etc., the currency is ‘time’ – issued in the form of time credits. As this is an egalitarian system, everyone’s time is valued equally so one time credit is equivalent of one hour’s work, whatever the work. The idea is that whenever you do something to help another person you are given a time credit for this rather than cash. So, for example, if you spend an hour looking after the kids next door you’ll be given one time credit. This you can then spend on an hour’s yoga class or having your front door painted.

Pourquoi les monnaies complémentaires sont-elles ignorées par l’approche économique conventionnelle ? Marie Fare and Pepita Ould Ahmed 1. Introduction 1 By “complementary currency system” (CCS) we mean a specific unit (or system) of account that complements the official currency and has been developed by a group of agents (individuals, economic and social structures, local authorities or banks) that has formed a local network with a view to accounting for and regulating exchanges of goods and services. From a functionalist theoretical viewpoint CCSs are money.

Give Greece a Chance – with a Parallel Currency That Stays
Give Greece a chance – with a parallel currency that stays In 2011, Christian Gelleri and Thomas Mayer proposed a second currency for Greece. Since then the Greek problems have not been solved and have instead become worse. The country is still enduring severe economic problems and national bankruptcy remains dangerously close. A parallel currency »NEURO« could help to avoid the worst and act as a leverage for the better. he crisis in Greece is now ente - examples show that a decrease in income le - in contrast to the US, which has responded ring its eighth year.

Gómez (*) Chief Editor International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam (*) [email protected] The International Journal of Community Currency Research was founded 23 years ago, when researchers on this topic found a hard time in getting published in other peer reviewed journals. In these two decades the academic publishing industry has exploded and most papers can be published internationally with a minimal peer-review scrutiny, for a fee. Moreover, complementary currency research is not perceived as extravagant as it used to be, so it has now become possible to get published in journals with excellent reputation. In that context, the IJCCR is still the first point of contact of practitioners and new researchers on this topic. It offers open access, free publication, and it is run on a voluntary basis by established scholars in the field. In any of the last five years, it has received about 25000 views.
