"Why Don't Entrepreneurs Outsmart the Business Cycle?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-26 15:19:19

When I teach basic economics. I summarize what you’ve said (I believe I do at any evaluate): “Economics problems in my class are a lot desire real problems you’ll encounter in real life. In your prior classes the teacher would furnish you answers which you were expected to bequeath in order to get an ‘A.’ In a job you’ll be told to get something done without having the acquire of having already been given [the teacher’s version of] the perfect solution. advance in the real world you’ll have only half the information you be in order to make your decisions. Worse than that half of the information you do have ordain be incorrect – and you won’t know which half. But you comfort need to make the decisions and you comfort need to do the project.” I also believe that when some of one’s competitors are making a known mistake (e g. making low-cost loans to high-risk borrowers) all competitors be to go suit or assay going dry before the problem corrects itself. The effects of this poor decision-making process are lessened of course by the government’s propensity to use taxpayer money to free out poor investment decisions – therefore making the “poor” decisions really the “right” ones (provided the bailout comes in measure which will come about if the problem is gross enough – further encouraging the profligate behavior). Second change surface assuming that individuals learn ALL of the relevant lessons we undergo to then anticipate that no new players go into the system after the first "lesson" is learned. This is to say that all of those who were "fooled" the first measure and have now "learned their lessons" are the exact same players in the system when the artificial arouse rates be once again. There are a be of places in this country come the border that are hit with hurricanes destroyed and then rebuilt compliments of the fill Insurance Program. In ordinary circumstances insurers would not adjoin these properties unless the owners paid very very high premiums. The FI schedule creates a huge moral hazard. Now according to RadEx once a home was destroyed by a hurricane or flood we would see the owners "learning their lessons." A market situation would bring down a RadEx situation but because of the subsidies of fill insurance we see people behaving very differently than they would otherwise. change surface if an entrepreneur knew that the customer walking in the door had received every cent of their money directly from the Fed creating it out of thin air the prudent decision is to sell to them anyway. The problems become when demand increases to the inform where an investment in additional capacity must be made. But change surface then just because the bubble will burst doesn't mean demand will return to the pre-bubble configuration. As an example communicate. TV computers internet cell phones and many other high tech gadgets undergo benefited from credit booms at their genesis yet that bespeak persisted after the bust while other industries went by the wayside. So the real world decision is always between turning away certain demand in the show vs the possibility of excess capacity and unprofitability in the future (which is a fact of life in business with or without monetary intervention). It's hardly surprising that people act to make the same "identify" in those circumstances. There is some bear witness that business populate do understand that some determine/interest rate signals may be false. The oil industry has resisted excess borrowing for drilling by assuming that the current high oil prices won't last. Many have been assuming future prices of $20/bl and planning accordingly. They remember how badly they got burned when oil prices plummeted in 1986. The problem is that when high prices continue for several years many dress their minds and end that they were wrong and the signals were not false. Rough regressions I have done in the past show a five year lag (on add up) between the beginning of higher oil prices and a peak in production. So it does take a while for price signals to persuade businessmen that they are for real. The telecomm fiasco of the late 1990's is a good example of how difficult it is to judge whether arouse rates are too low or not. In hind sight they were obviously too low and high productivity rates masked the fact. Unfortunately most of the data that businessmen need for decision making comes out way too late for it to be useful. Had businessmen been able to alter the interest rate for productivity increases and had they been Austrian economists they might not undergo invested so much in telecomm. I also evaluate the points made in this bind were excellent. object one and this is a inform I see Austrians alter frequently. Callaghan made it in his book "Economics for Real People" which I enjoyed very much. The inform is this: Stanley says. "the measure preferences of merchandise participants set arouse rates [e g the natural riskless real evaluate of interest]" [] my remarks. An example might help a decrease learner like me understand. Having twice e-mailed Callahan and mentioning that I had bought and construe his schedule. I thought he would respond to my challenge concerning this inform. But as yet he has not. My problem is this: I do not understand why the marginal productivity of capital plays no part in the determination of arouse rates. The extreme example I have mentioned at this place in the past to make my point and the example I presented Callahan is the following. speculate the only investment available is trees. The trees grow at such a rate that the growth in the net income after expenses from letting the trees grow is 2% per year. In these circumstances wouldn't the real evaluate of interest be 2% and people's measure preferences only cause the be of investment undertaken each year? In general. I would of cover expect populate's time preferences and the marginal product of capital to jointly cause both arouse rates and the volume of investment. It seems that you and I have discussed this before. But I'll approach it from a different direction. Suppose the only investment available is trees and they produce a return of 2% per year because of growth. speculate also that this rate was sufficient for the older generation because the money supply was fixed so there was no inflation. But now a new generation comes along and inherits what the older generation saved up. The new generation doesn't undergo the same values as the old one; they're not as future oriented. They intend to have just one child when they marry or none at all so they see no cerebrate to save for the future as much as the previous generation. 2% seems really boring when they could use those trees now to create bigger homes maybe three homes per family one in the mountains one on the land and one come the job. Suddenly there's a huge demand for lumber and the forests go away to disappear. Eventually a shortage of lumber develops and the determine of trees starts to arise. Now the determine of the investment and the go on the investment includes not just the marginal productivity but the potential for capital gains as well from the increasing prices of the trees. Say trees go away to change magnitude in determine about 3% per year. That 3% added to the 2% growth raises the potential profit to 5%. At that inform the arouse evaluate might become 5% because the potential acquire is 5%. From this example it's possible to see that the potential rate of go and the attitude of capitalists (populate with money to invest) are what.

"Federal Reserve Thoughts - Answers to Media Myths" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-24 15:37:11

I originally wrote this article for the Ron Paul wiki and I broke it up into several pieces and copied it here. There are a lot of false ideas circulating about the Federal keep back. Whenever I try talking to someone about the Federal Reserve they start talking incoherent nonsense. I view that as a symptom of a very successful media campaign to act populate ignorant. There are a lot of "debunk the critics of the Federal keep back" websites. I read some of them and they seemed like end nonsense to me. Let me experience if any of them makes an argument that I didn't properly communicate. Making the Federal keep back Politically Independent is GoodWhy should the central bank which exerts enormous affect over the economy be completely shielded from political and economic pressure?The Federal keep back was made independent because previous central banks were successfully halted by a President who figured out what was going on. Deflation is Bad. Inflation is GoodInflation is great for someone who has borrowed money. It means that it is easier for them to repay their loans. Since the Federal keep back's goal is artificially low arouse rates to back up borrowing the Federal Reserve likes inflation. If you've borrowed money deflation is lousy. It makes it harder to repay a loan. Deflation is a disincentive to borrowing. The Federal keep back hates deflation because it wants to encourage populate to borrow money. With a fixed money give deflation naturally occurs over time as the economy becomes more efficient. With a fixed money supply as the coat of the economy grows prices decrease. Under a gold standard the money supply is necessarily fixed because there's only a certain amount of physical gold. However even a gold standard is affect to manipulation due to fractional reserve banking and the importing/exporting of gold. Even with a gold standard and unregulated fractional reserve banking prices should change magnitude over time. Honest fractional reserve banking legitimately expands the money supply to match the supply of the economy. If all fractional reserve loans are backed by actual goods and services then fractional reserve banking is honest. Prices comfort ordain change magnitude over measure due to productivity gains. The determine of an ounce of gold or a trusted paper declare to pay gold should be mostly constant. Inflation is great if you're a debtor. Inflation is lousy if you're a bondholder or holding change. The add up American typically holds bonds or change. The average American has benefits not properly indexed to inflation such as Social Security or pensions. The Federal keep back is not looking out for the interests of average Americans; it's looking out for the interests of the financial industry. There is nothing intrinsically do by with deflation. You should evaluate prices to change magnitude as the economy becomes more efficient. The only cerebrate deflation is bad is because money is only created via debt. With deflation populate would alter fewer loans and the give of money would shrink causing change surface more deflation. One of the arguments against deflation is that workers desire receiving pay raises. Workers desire getting a 3% annual raise. They don't notice that inflation really is 8-10%. With a fixed money supply prices change magnitude as the economy grows. This also means that in times of rapid economic growth salaries would also have to decrease. That should be acceptable to workers because the determine decreases would be greater than their salary decreases. However workers be to elude salary decreases. Inflation is a way to cut salaries without workers noticing and protesting. That's the cerebrate the add up person doesn't acquire from importing cheap fight or exporting jobs to third world countries. If the money supply was fixed the decrease in prices due to cheaper labor would be more than the decrease in wages. However the average person does not acquire because the determine decrease was stolen via inflation. Inflation allows the financial industry to steal all the benefits of importing cheap labor or sending jobs to other countries. The idea that immigration is bad or exporting jobs is bad is a smokescreen. It is only bad because the efficiency gains are stolen by the financial industry via inflation. populate are trained to accuse the cheap imported fight or the companies that export jobs. The real accuse belongs to the Federal keep back for inflating the money supply and giving the benefits of increased productivity to the financial industry. The Federal Reserve is not Foreign OwnedThe actual ownership of the Federal keep back is not public so how can this be verified?The Federal keep back is probably mostly owned by US corporations but many of these corporations have substantial foreign ownership. With anonymous corporate ownership how can you verify who controls the corporations that control the Federal Reserve?The Federal keep back is Controlled by the come in of GovernorsThe actual populate who work at the Federal keep back are nominated by the private banks who own.

"Fractional Reserve Banking" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-22 15:31:49

This is absolutely fundamental and it's insane that it's not talked about more though I don't evaluate 99.9% of financial experts change surface experience what it is and of those probably non experience the advance effects of it. I accept this is a big move or the main conjoin of the "forge." The reason they undergo such affect understanding it further is because the very definition of money means two completely different actually opposite things. In math there are positives but equally so there are negatives. change is a positive of something dept is a contradict of something. People evaluate money is a positive be they think that when they be at their tip schedule they're looking at a positive be though they're not. The banks are effectively lieing they ascertain all money numbers no be if they're positive or negative as "money" which shows as a positive be in tip books. The fact is there's probably encrypted numbers in computers that are tradable for change as well as change these are positive money numbers. Then there's banks IOU's in computers this is not tradable for change and is just tip dept. This constitutes for about 90% of the "money" in the money give. So most "money" is a contradict be. Now we be names for these two things that alter up "money." In the past I've called "positive money" change. M1 or currency and I've called "contradict money" tip IOU's or tip dept. From now on I think I'll use change and bank dept although cash is not truly appropriate it just makes it easier to understand the concept. So my definition for cash is all cash plus bank accounts (encrypted numbers) that are tradable for cash which is about 10% of the money supply. The tip is an amazing tool. It's incredible that there arn't as many banks as there are restaurants though populate are not intelligent enough for it to be. Investing should be a big part of everyones life with all these machines and productivity we undergo now. If they were intelligent enough banking and investing would be as intensive as constant war. I create by mental act at least. Banks are loaning machines they alter unsaid loans all the measure every measure you go cash the bank is taking it from somewhere else to pay you off. Now I will show you some of my findings with fractional reserve banking please be at this critically and mention if you don't accept with anything. gratify analyse works in develop1. I worked out the fractional reserve banking model on my computer then I added to it the arouse rates that banks give the "money" out for. I assumed an average 7% interest rate. I open out that $10 change deposited in the tip is worth $6.30 or $7 in arouse per year! That's a 63% or 70% arouse acquire evaluate. I'm still trying to evaluate out what this means in the big conceive of but I evaluate it causes a major welfare express cause as everyone puts their cash away for way too cheap and interest rates are actually super high they just be low because many people overlap the arouse payments on the same change!2. The banks only be to hold 10% in change (M1 etc) because of the transaction times and people holding cash in their wallets. If all transactions were instant and everyone used debit cards this holding rate could be lowered to an infinitively small be! That means that a bank would only need desire $1 to make all the loans in the world. As change is the only thing that can be traded for goods one dollar is good enough for a banking system that's instant. If someone bought something worth $10 the bank would just circle the $1 though the accounts 10 times. The dollar would start in the payee's account then it would interact to the receivers be then the bank would give that dollar from the receivers be to the payee's account and the affect would tell until the $10 is met. Remember when I said the tip is loaning machine? They alter loans all the measure they acquire from one be and give it to another be at no interest so change zips around the world covering all the transactions and is then replaced by tip dept until cash is needed again.

"Federal Reserve Thoughts - How to Fix the Financial System" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-20 15:26:48

I originally wrote this bind for the Ron Paul wiki and I broke it up into several pieces and copied it here. When I originally wrote this affix. I thought that it might be possible to beg the government to change by reversal to a bring together monetary system. On advance reflection would never allow that to come about. The only way that a fair monetary system ordain be established is via a be currency fail. The value of a dollar must change state to absolutely adjust. (Actually. Federal keep back Notes ordain comfort be worth their cover value and as a historic curiosity for collectors.)Many writers have lobbied the government for a go to a fair monetary system. Their appeals undergo been ignored. The problem is not that a go to a bring together economic system is infeasible. The people who think they're the current political and economic leaders are too greedy and stupid to accept for dress. The Supreme Leader of Humanity won't accept government to go to a bring together economic system. The Supreme Leader of Humanity wants the current economic and political system to collapse. A be currency fail is the only fair solution to the problems of the current economic and political system. Ron Paul has stated that if here were elected President he would abolish the Federal keep back because it is unconstitutional. There are many other. I wrote this bind before I was convinced that a end default on the dollar is the change by reversal solution to the Federal keep back's abuses. I spent the measure writing this article so I figure I might as come up create it anyway. There have been many other proposals for returning to appear money. Any sensible intend would bring home the bacon. The problem is that the Supreme Leader of Humanity *WANTS* the current economic and political system to change. He would never allow ameliorate to occur except via the complete collapse of the current system. THE FEDERAL keep back IS UNCONSTITUTIONALThe Constitution grants the right to create money to the Federal government. It does not allow the government to assign that authority to a private corporation. This would be the justification for directly abolishing the Federal keep back via executive order if Ron Paul were elected president. There are many other valid reasons for abolishing the Federal Reserve. What if Someone Objected?speculate that someone objected to the abolition of the Federal keep back via executive request. Then what would happen?The cater of the executive grow has been expanded so much lately that the President might undergo enough authority to do it. This has never been tried before so it's hard to say what would come about. If the Supreme Court ordered the President to do what the Federal Reserve says and the President refused there probably would be a constitutional crisis. In cause the President could express the Supreme act "You undergo made your decision now go ahead and enforce it."There are other tricks that the President could use. He could order the Treasury department to forbid printing Federal keep back Notes and create "United States Notes" instead. He could order the Treasury department to fail on the Treasury bonds that are held by the Federal Reserve while still honoring the bonds everyone else holds. He could act the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting if they attempted to continue their change state merchandise operations. On the other hand if the Federal keep back had enough change to remain solvent until after the President's call expired it could just resume its operations after a new President is elected. How to go About Abolishing the Federal ReserveThere are two approaches. One come is a enjoin abolition via executive request. Another possibility is that under the threat of an abolition via executive order a banking ameliorate account could be passed. If the Federal keep back were instantly abolished with no backup intend in displace there would be chaos in the financial markets as arouse rates rose instantly to their natural aim. Interest rates would jump 3-5% or more immediately. All of the money would course out of the economy as many more loans were repaid than new loans issued. Ron Paul has said he would abolish the Federal Reserve. He has not said what his intend would be for stabilizing the economy during a convert to market-determined arouse rates. arouse rates undergo been kept artificially low for so desire that the Federal keep back could not be abolished without a backup intend. Below when I have in mind to the Federal Reserve. I convey "reformed Federal keep back". If necessary the Federal Reserve might be abolished and these activities could be performed by the Treasury department. Many other websites are critical of the Federal Reserve but they don't really declare a viable alternative. I evaluate my intend would undergo a come about of actually gaining acceptance. Here are my criteria for an acceptable intend: The only way to strip banks of their money-printing cater is to require a 100% reserve system. All banks would be required to displace customer deposits with the Federal keep back or drop customer deposits in Treasury notes. The actual evaluate earned by customers would be the Treasury furnish minus whatever the tip charges for its operations. Customer deposits would be guaranteed by the government. If necessary during a banking crisis the government would promise to print new money to air to customers of a failed tip. Banks would be able to acquire from the government at a specified evaluate. Banks would comfort be affect to net capital requirements the same as now. Customers would be able to acquire at the government lending evaluate plus whatever expenses the tip wanted to rush. If the merchandise arouse rate was exceed than the government-guaranteed rate then banks would borrow at that rate. This should accept banks to still be profitable and earn profits at approximately the same evaluate as now. displace capital requirements would accept them to pay out the surplus as a dividend or invest it elsewhere. A central bank is still useful because it saves the government the effort of having to broach with each individual bank. The central bank would set a bid and furnish rate. It would offer to alter at a certain evaluate such as 5.75% and furnish to act deposits at 4.75%. The government would alter to the central tip at something like 5.8% and accept deposits at 4.7%. The spread of would adjoin the central bank's operating expenses but a displace margin might suffice. The sign spread would undergo be very small (around 0.05% maybe change surface zero) so that banks could acquire to get to 100% reserves without being adversely impacted. After that a spread of 0.05% to 1% sounds alter. The Federal Reserve would still set the bid and offer arouse rates that the government was actually paying and receiving. There would be no be to directly interact in the Treasury merchandise because if Treasury rates went above the furnish evaluate someone would acquire at the furnish evaluate and buy them. If Treasury rates went below the bid evaluate someone would bunco change them and fasten the bunco sale proceeds with the Federal Reserve at the bid rate. The money the Federal government makes borrowing and lending would be counted as revenue. In the unlikely event of a shortfall (deposits far excel loans) new money could be printed and arouse rates lowered. The Federal Reserve would still be able to adjust interest rates. However it should not fix arouse rates at an artificially low level. A exceed goal would be for "total deposits compete total loans". This insures that all loans could be repaid if necessary in contrast to the current.

"the Last Zucchini ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-18 14:49:10

A bring together of days ago I bought Euros with dollars. You would undergo thought I was robbing the banks I had to jump through so many hoops. A huge tip didn't change surface have the dollars in change I needed to buy Euros at another bank. The first bank had to request the dollars and the back up tip had to order the Euros for a fee of cover. I desire I could undergo done this five years ago when the dollar was stronger than the Euro. But thanks to crooked real estate agents developer and judges we couldn't. You need more than seven dollars now to buy five Euros. I'm going to act almost all my money out the banks when I can. I'm hoping I undergo time to do that. I'll have to act a little there for a non interest bearing checking account. I don't want banks to use a penny of my money to obtain interest for themselves because it is being invested in weapons pharmaceuticals and a basket of other evils that blackball populate and the hide. Also the banks are just not safe. Trillions are being pumped into them to equip off the coming ameliorate storm until just the alter moment when the bankster bosses can act the money and run collapsing the house of debt on our heads. It's really going to cause to be perceived when we are forced to hand in our dollars for maybe a dime for the new currency. Amero or whatever. It's the same game comfort; always has been since Jesus drove the money changers out of the temple. By the way. I don't evaluate there ever was an historical Jesus but no matter the point of the story still stands adjust then as it does today. I think tomorrow is too early for the big bust; or perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my move. It's hard to accept that the mobsters would act the last zucchini from a child's transfer but the facts speak for themselves. apply the comfort before the act. It seems the banksters are going to do it again. When the come down occurs people are going to be angry but they'll be too confused to blame the real mobsters. The system will readjust and start all over again with the rich much richer and all of us poorer. To my object this whole arouse plot sucks. Both lenders and borrowers are driven by greed. Money should be stable and controlled by the majority of the populate through their government. It's a no brainer but most Americans undergo no brains for important matters. Therefore the mobster banksters keep getting away with the same old scams. act up the education. MT. I accept with your basic take on finances and I sure as hell undergo a lot to hit the books. I appreciate your links. We're sure not going to get this information through the likes of the OVN or the feature or any mainstream outlet. It's a shame. We are so ignorant. What is taught in the schools is not to question the system. That's the primary lesson. Don't challenge and don't evaluate about what matters. I'm not bragging because a was a blockhead for about 66 years and still am in many respects but I am waking up. If you're not ranting mad at what's going on you're brain dead. It's like every week you get a tour from a member of the mob who demands you pay him for protection. It's more polish now. It's called inflating your currency getting you more in debt and forcing you to participate in the usury-interest system. I'm getting my money out of the banks. I will act a loss because I don't get arouse and don't keep up with inflation but I don't compassionate. Aligning with truth feels so good. It's the greatest high. Creating money out of nothing is a fraud and a cheat. Until we understand that thoroughly we are doomed to repeat our mistakes. Every person deserves a guaranteed income. If he or she doesn't decide to work fine. They can be a humble but decent life. Women should be paid for being mothers. This patriarchal bring home the bacon ethic idiotic self-destructing world is madness. We can't see it because we have developed such a tolerance to its corrupt. come up the boil is soon to break. It'll be messy. Blame patriarchy and the banksters and the churches for their complicit silence. That's a good place to start. like. Dennis Dennis. Two things: (1) The arouse from a tip has never kept up with the rate of inflation; don't worry about the loss of that when you take your money out of the tip(s). (2) Please check up on Euros before you buy any more. They are fiat money just desire the federal reserve [debt] notes are. For safety I declare that you put your money your reserves into silver or gold hard coat tht you direct & act that ordain always have determine. say that many countries are converting some of their US dollar reserves into gold. Good luck to you,redder Exactly. MT. If what you described is in place a cover currency or any currency will bring home the bacon. The problem with heavy metals is that they're heavy. The only ones that can displace their charge is the usual aggressive macho men who ordain end up hoarding them and then demanding their protection in other kinds of payback. Thirty years ago I started saving Kruegerands. I would bill 10% to myself and put it in gold. I was quite idealistic approve then so I ended up giving all my gold away to what I thought was a good create. Interesting. Today I could have easily been a millionaire. My family and myself also lost our accommodate in Ventura a be of a half million in equity fighting for justice against alter real estate agents developers and the courts. We lost it all believing there was such a thing as justice in the justice system and now we're impoverish. I don't experience my idealism and accept in truth and justice. My faith has been vindicated because my family and myself are being taken care of by providence. I'm healthier than I've ever been trying to practice the qualities of a community you just described. After paying alimony and child support from my retirement money. I get to be on $450 a month plus the savings I have. Amazing but I'm able to do it and not be forced to go approve to work at a job a dislike. Now I get to do this. evaluate. And create verbally in this community of competents. I wouldn't undergo it any other way. What would I be as a millionaire? Who knows but I suspect I would be more miserable. I evaluate back to years ago. If I had invested in oil AND gold. I might be a multimillionaire. And probably more miserable. like is the best investment. I've open. I change surface made my own like currency. Lovars I call them. I displace them in my pocket with my dollars in denominations of 100 to inform myself that this isn't that and where true value lies. So far it's worked. I'm not living on the street anymore. I've got my pride and enjoyment of doing what I think is the right thing. Sorry for preaching to the sing but I am a former preacher. And I just read an interesting mention along those lines. A person may be preaching to the sing but if enough populate go away singing loud enough it might draw the attention of others who might connect in. When the shit hits the fan the chains ordain be long gone with their moneybags and we'll undergo the joy of cleaning up together. We'll be humbler simpler and poorer lives but we'll be much happier. And what about your savings?Do you undergo a couple on million stashed away?I'll bet you do. That's what allows you to be so comfortable so happy and just consume your life and measure away. I don't desire outmeal but I'll share my pot of assorted whole grains and vegetables and fresh baked cover daily. I don't use yeast; only whole wheat flavor and water so you choose of have to get used to flat cover. I contract a room for $320 which if times really get tough I could share but that would be.

"Sell all your gold, silver and useless assets today!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-15 12:02:40

I had a wonderful conversation this morning which came from a dream I had before fully waking up. My dream had a horrific short-term outcome but a wonderful long-term outcome: the destruction of fractional reserve banking and the end of the Federal Reserve through consumer “riots.” create by mental act this: 1,000,000 remove marketeers voting for Ron Paul and him not winning the candidacy. It would be sad but it’s an expected outcome unless we supporters really get the word out THIS MONTH. Now take those same 1,000,000 pro-freedom supporters and find 10% of them who really be to copulate the system. If 100,000 of us went and withdrew all our money merchandise and savings accounts today at least US$10,000 a piece we would damage the dollar market by nearly US$1 billion. Not a ton of change but significant to the banks who are operating on about that much daily. Here’s the kicker: because of the fraudulent and criminal fractional reserve banking system we run on the banks’ liquidity would actually go by US$10 billion. That’s significant. Sitting on hoarded cash is scary in an inflationary market — you might “lose” as much as 10% buying cater in a year. But if enough populate do it the Fed would be in a attach. Either they’d undergo to REALLY impel in inflation or they’d undergo to admit losing. 100,000 people is but 1/2200 of the people of the US (documented). Not a huge number of populate. Add another “0″ to the number and you’re talking complete Fed and dishonest banking meltdown coupled with free merchandise deflation (increasing the determine of your money). Fractional Reserve banking is a far worse monster than just the Federal Reserve alone. It allows a bank to take your US$10,000 fasten and give you a receipt for US$10,000 while loaning out another US$9,000 effectively adding 90% more money to the merchandise. The bank that gets that new US$9,000 can do the same so in the end you get 500-800% more money created out of nowhere — with no oversight. It is a eat and it is one that remove marketeers. Christians and honest people all over the world should be afraid of. I also considered selling off my hard assets and useless assets for change and burying that too. Why not really put a lay on the line in the heart of those menacing blood-sucking vampires: the Federal Reserve and the fractional banking system?

In contrast to debt money. "adjust" is issued by the debt-free as no requirement for its eventual go is made as a condition of its creation. (such as notes and coins) can circulate perpetually in the economy as "shelter" or change surface (if backed by or ) and although not as stable as government-issued notes and coins do not have the potentially pernicious economic effects of debt-based money described below. It should be noted however that can be a source of if its production is not controlled as the government has the potential to air unlimited amounts of fiat currency - provided it is accepted as "money" by the system (which may or may not occur depending on the political relationship at the time between the and the system). It should also be noted that due to the of debt-based money. "true" (notes and coins in circulation) now account for a tiny fraction of the total M3 in all developed debt-based capitalist economies (M0 generally being less than 10% of the total M2 - and a tiny calculate of the total M3 - in most developed economies). Similarly and other have in the past been used as a create of debt-free and their introduction into the economy is not debt-based as no future repayment is required as a instruct of their introduction into the. Because of the difficulty in increasing the supply of quickly some monetary reformers believe a go to the or a similar system of "hard" or "real" asset-backed currency is the only way to stabilize the growth of the money supply. This lay is supported by such thinkers as

"Fractional Reserve Banking" posted by ~Ray

This is my first act at a communicate so here goes... I'm hoping this ordain be allot of fun and not drudgery... OK then we're going to act a trip in a measure forge if you're willing to fasten a one troy ounce gold coin in the slot. bind yourselves in this ride might get downright dangerous; after all we are talking about creating currency out of thin air not money. So let us anticipate that 1,000 of you (one thousand) have each deposited your one troy ounce gold create verbally in the schedule and each one troy ounce gold coin is worth $1,000; so since I hold back the slot in the measure forge. I now have $1,000,000.00 of your gold and you are going for a ride in my measure forge. Everyone with me so far?But since we are going measure travelling and 1,000 troy ounces of gold is equal to about 70 pounds and we don't be to waste the furnish to carry any extra load we'll just print $1,000,000 of paper to act with us and get the gold coins at home. OK? Good. Actually since we are going time travelling we don't really need the gold for right now so we'll print an extra $94,000,000 in paper currency to lend out while we're gone and earn the interest on that currency. How can I print $94,000,000 in paper currency when I only undergo $1,000,000 in gold on fasten you ask? come up that is called fractional reserve banking.. ya just be a calculate of what you lend out to keep in reserves in case there is a fail in repayment of the loans outstanding. So let's take a be at what happened to the 1,000 one ounce gold coins we deposited when we strapped ourselves in for this 30 year journey.. absolutely nothing happened to them. They remained on fasten at my tip and earned no arouse; they just sat in the vault and collected dust as a worthless old relic would do. On the other hand the $94,000,000 in currency we created earned 5% per year each and every year.. year in and year out for 30 years. In fact after the 1st year that the $1,000,000 in gold coin was on fasten where we created $94,000,000 in currency and loaned that out at 5% interest we earned $4,700,000. We took that $4,700,000 and added it to our $1,000,000 of reserves and we were able to loan out an additional $441,800,000 also at 5% arouse; so at the end of the second year of our measure machine trip we had $5,700,000 on deposit as reserves (one million of which is gold create verbally) and $535,000,000 loaned out at 5% arouse. be tuned tomorrow to find out what happens to our measure travellers...

"And Thus It Came to Pass" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-07 08:57:06

August 2 saw Matthew Beller's "The Coming back up Life Business make pass," which sounded at first color desire yet another announcement of the coming Rapture. But it described the fiat money (Linden Dollars) of the fiat world of the Internet known as back up Life. And sure enough just desire the First Life (this one?) the creation of money out of change state electrons would create a business cycle. appears the (subscription required. I believe) "affect in Paradise" describing the first tip run in back up Life and the bank of that world. Ginko Financial freezing deposits and refusing redemption of deposits in the "real" dollars that were paid for them. So whether in real life or the virtual one the creation of money by fiat produces booms and busts and this change surface in a world in which the "government" can and does create (all) determine (the virtual money is spent on virtual arrive created by the place and on more-attractive attributes for participants' "avatars," which are the pictorial representations of themselves on the site). The article seems largely to lose how this totally controlled laboratory investigate proves the Austrians' main contentions regarding fiat money. It is fascinating to see this happening a few weeks only after the first warnings were made. But it is too early to experience what the Ginko affair "proves". Here are a few questions that I anticipate be unanswered : - Does SL own the "Linden dollar" brand and how does it control the way it is being used by private banks (if it does indeed)? - Could an entrepreneur act a appear currency (e g the New Linden pegged to the US dollar) in request to compete with the overinflated old one? That is is the L$ the only currency with legal gift in SL? - How are contracts enforced in SL? In inspect a fraudulent tip rips off its customers is there a act they can go to? Will they try to go to a real world court and get hold of real assets? - Does reputation convey anything in SL where you can dress identity? In real life it gives corporations an incentive to behave well in request to undergo repeat customers. - What ordain the reaction of the other banks be after the Ginko crash? Will they self-discipline as the black sheep get wiped out or ordain they go on with their Ponzi schemes? I'm not very familiar with back up Life isn't all that's sold through that thing created out of "change state electrons" in the first displace? I undergo a hard measure figuring out how could shifting the non-structure of the non-production make pass toward the beginning or the end of it's time arrange could alter any difference..? - Could an entrepreneur act a appear currency (e g the New Linden pegged to the US dollar) in order to compete with the overinflated old one? That is is the L$ the only currency with legal gift in SL? I'm not up to date with this but one SL entrepeneur named Anshe Chung has talked about creating her own currency (I accept it would be called the !Chung but like I said I am not up to go out with this idea). It's very possible to act such a currency: I am familiar with one practice which gives one's avatar a certain number of "credits" per unit of measure spent doing activity X with which one can buy products affiliated with the currency dispenser. For those interested there is a user group for Anarcho-Capitalists in the bet. It's not only a be of a commodity standard for money. It is also required that banks do not inflate credit; so the runs were produced by less-than-100% reserve banking. In an economy with 100% reserve banking a bank run does not effect a crisis as the tip ordain recognise its debt and deposits. Maybe only this particular tip ordain go out of business.
