EGONOMIST

We invented counting to keep everyone fed, then turned the balance sheet into a battlefield.

Keeping the book

“If it cannot be shown, it is not policy.”

This week an economist, a Treasury counselor and a mathematician set the table, from Richard Wolff to Edward Frenkel. Not a new currency and not a new issuer: the existing rails, one visible sequence. The same rules bind state, firm and person. If it cannot be shown, it is not policy.

Economist @MazzucatoM: "If bankers, estate agents and bookmakers claim to create value rather than extract it, mainstream economics offers no basis on which to challenge them, even though the public might view their claims with scepticism. Who can deny Lloyd Blankfein when he dec…

"The Sovereignty Is The Refusal." Give back enough sovereign power to coin money back to individuals, just enough to effectively balance the states n firms who have the seigniorage to debts n credits supplys. The individual who regain his sovereignty over his time n effort will regain freedom from quiet interlopers. Together the people will force to correct the errands, not by force but through sheer fidelity of accounts of values n wealths they create, not by edicts..

Thank you, @ericweinstein! 🙏🤩 Well-said, and what a great question at the end! My take: it all starts with us, humans. We create new technology, we "program the machines" so to speak. We set the stage. If we can cultivate this sixth sense of our deeper connection to each other…
