  • THE 20TH CENTURY ECONOMIES IN CONTEXT – AND HOW TO FIX THEM WITH PROPERTARIANISM

    THE 20TH CENTURY ECONOMIES IN CONTEXT – AND HOW TO FIX THEM WITH PROPERTARIANISM

    You know, they called what we do today “Jewish economics” in the pre-war period because it favored investors at the expense of the middle classes (which in those days just meant ‘families’). Keynes was reading MARX, and just removed all references from his book (the general theory) before publishing. Keynes used mathematics (he was first and foremost a mathematician specializing in probability) to give us his elegant simplification of the economy, but he put no measures in place to control it’s abuse – and of course, and Hayek didn’t refute him, and no one produced a limit, so the government just took ‘presumption of growth from presumption of consumption’ as license to convert Keynes’ explanation of how to get out of postwar crisis with how to maximize spending by pushing risk downstream and consuming all institutional, behavioral, normative, physical, and human capital.

    That limit was a balance sheet, and full accounting of investments and returns. In other words, to maintain the MEASUREMENT that both the GOLD STANDARD and RULE OF LAW had made possible at the cost of inability to react to shocks.

    This isn’t to dismiss his aggregate theory which is, like all economics, hydraulic. And it isn’t to defend the classical theory, which presumes rational actors, rather than bounded rationality within the limits of our frustration budgets. (We used commercial consumption to sedate ourselves during what has been a long period of social disintegration all of which decrease mindfulness and increase stress, create dysfunctional infantilized ‘woke’ children, reduce our commons into barbarism, loneliness and horrors in old age.)

    We spent thousands of years incrementally building rule of law leaving only a markets, and in a century we have destroyed rule of law, markets, and our social, institutional, and worst of all, genetic capital.

    You can’t imagine how much advertising and that evil box in your living room has contributed to destruction of our civilization. But THOUSANDS of thinkers predicted it. The British were right with their BBC – which horrifies the libertarian remnant in me.. But it’s because the left (cognitively female) always and everywhere seeks to create consensus to undermine because it cannot produce and innovate itself. As such the parasite pursues ‘the pulpit’ from whence it conducts it’s false promise, baiting into hazard, as a means of undermining the order and the capital structure of the people who DO produce.

    Now, I have no problem with censorship in the Russian and Chinese and Turkish models, if it’s censorship of GSRRM, baiting into hazard, and advocacy of capital consumption or underclass reproduction or limiting upper class reproduction – all things that affect the balance sheet (capital). But the court must be there to defend the truth, and the law has to tolerate truth regardless of cost. In other words, it has to be ILLEGAL to suppress truthful statements if it’s Illegal to undermine.

    This kind of test wasn’t possible until Propertarianism.

    But it’s possible now.

    And you can’t imagine (I can and it overwhelms me) how different a world would be if we ended all the f—king lying – including the lying of false promise baiting into hazard, and advocacy of consuming capital.

    WHY ECONOMISTS FAIL TO PROPOSE SUCCESSFUL SOLUTIONS

    Most economists propose nonsense solutions that mean more taxes without changing the structure of the economy.

    My proposition is pretty simple and has profound consequences. Stop all lying, baiting into hazard, free riding and parasitism upon the people, and capture those proceeds in the production of PHYSICAL commons.

    THAT IS HOW WE FIX EQUALITY.

    I’m not in favor of equality. Im’ in favor of suppressing parasitism upon the people so that people aren’t rewarded for parasitism and predation and conquest.

    The result is MORE equality for the middle class at the cost of the parasitic media, academy, state, financial and probably marketing and advertising sectors.

    That’s how you fix it.

    What will happen?

    I think sh-t through.

    What will happen is increasing demands for investments that aren’t parasitic, and that leaves accumulating rather than spending down capital.

    Economists work by income statements.

    Citizenry works by balance sheets.

  • THE PROBLEM WITH EFFICIENT MARKETS Agricultural goods, construction, and housing

    THE PROBLEM WITH EFFICIENT MARKETS

    Agricultural goods, construction, and housing are efficient. Is that a good thing? Food other than meat is almost free. Why shouldn’t we drive up the cost of agricultural goods, construction, and ‘materials production’ (steel etc) and housing as the returns we can produce? In other words, at what point are we making things cheaper but making everything more expensive as a consequence?

    I mean, why not repatriate all digital electronic technology, and all medical technology, and at least conversion of raw materials into production goods, and state finance the whole thing? We can. WE aren’t New Zealand. We aren’t a developing nation.

    WE are not making things cheaper. We’re spending down genetic, cultural, and institutional capital.

    ARE CONSUMERS SOVEREIGN?

    No. Because with large corporations we need via-negativa in courts to be able to correct bad behavior. And the state (politicians) are too easily (and frequently) bought. Furthermore they are too economically illiterate to comprehend the choices, and left-economists too dominant as consultants. (Obama only asked left wing jewish economists: Krugman Stiglitz etc).

    P-Constitution restores the courts as a market for defense of the commons. P-economics restores the financial assets made possible by fiat currency to the state (people), while still permitting bankers, thereby splitting the consumer credit economy, the medium term economy, and the long term economy, to the consumer, business banks, and actors on behalf of the treasury, so that commissions are possible but profits more so, and vast sums can be put to work in the world. As such we WEAPONIZE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.

    This is important. P-constitution weaponizes the economy for american (western) interests as have the Chinese at the cost of the major banks (JPM, GS, Citi, HSBC etc).

    If the People insure the investment then the people obtain the rewards of their risk.

    For big thinkers this means that we can drive the investment chain further into the future with heavier capital investment using the state, the financial sector can industrialize the application of whatever opportunities those technologies and benefits that can arise. The consumer sector can (interest free) seize the gains. And the proceeds can be directed to commons, so that the work week can be reduced and the working mother population reduced to produce more offspring. (one of the investments needs to be artificial wombs it seems.)

    ON FIAT CURRENCY AND BANK BAIL OUTS

    —“Thank you! I guess I have to unlearn the libertarian notion that fiat currencies are always some kind of fraud or manipulation game. Would there be bailouts for banks under the propertarian government?”— Niklas Wagner

    Great question.

    1) Fiat currencies are an exception innovation in monetary technology as is digital (electronic) transfer of interests rather than physical currency or money. However, with that graet innovation comes (and came) great opportunity for hideous corruption. The federal reserve (like the bank of England) is incompatible with fiat money, and incompatible with electronic money. In other words, all that interest should be accumulating in the hands of the INSURER (the treasury). And worse, there is no reason to use the banking system and interest to distribute money (increase the money supply). Imagine the government putting out a trillion dollars, and the banks offering you 5x on that money so that they could lend it out at 6-15x to commercial institutions?

    You see. I think sh-t thru. 😉 This would make a very awesome economic system.

    2) As for ‘bailouts’….

    We would still have the treasury take over banks. Taking over a bank and liquidating the creditors and shareholders is not ‘bailing it out’. Most banks were not bailed out – they were taken over. Only the big banks were bailed out.

    We only ‘bailed out’ the big banks because the treasury does not own the cash distribution network (ATM’s etc) This would have lead to world economic collapse.

    We did not however punish anyone and liquidate shareholders. That should have been done.

    Furthermore we did not do as I recommended, and Galbraith recommended and a few others timidly, which was simply to pay down everyone’s mortgage by as much as 200k, which would have f—ked the financial sector by externality and ended the crisis immediately. It also would have corrected housing prices. It was an obvious solution. But no. Politicians were involved and the financial sector was involved. Instead of saving the middle class we burned the middle class.

    Thankfully it’s reversible.

    Under P-constitution banks would be commercial not consumer entities. This would collapse much of the banking sector. And it would isolate bad bank behavior somewhat to commercial banks – which would benefit consumers when it happened.

  • YOUR BASIC LESSON ON MONEY (CURRENCY) AND 99% OF EVERYTHING YOU EVER NEED TO KNO

    YOUR BASIC LESSON ON MONEY (CURRENCY) AND 99% OF EVERYTHING YOU EVER NEED TO KNOW

    —“Could you please explain what you mean by “the problem of hard currency”?”—Niklas Wagner

    0) Money Proper means Commodity Money (a commodity used for monetary purposes in exchange. It must be light and of limited volume, and indexed (with a measurement), and either scarce by it’s limited existence in the natural world or very difficult to replicate and therefore artificially scarce.

    1) A money substitute is anything used in place of money proper. Currency is one of the many types of money substitutes. Currency began as ‘Notes’, which were literally tickets that could be redeemed for money proper.

    2) Hard currency means a currency(money substitute) backed by, and redeemable for, commodity money (gold, silver, etc).

    3) Soft currency means unbacked by or redeemable for, commodity money (gold, silver, etc), or only partly backed by commodity money, or interests in real property (liens).

    5) Shares are a tradable commodity backed only by market demand for them – but granting (fictitious) rights in case of liquidity (bankruptcy or sale).

    4) Fiat money is a share in the economy (government really), that is used as a soft currency substitute, that like shares, when printed, decreases the value (purchasing power) of other existing shares. In theory we would produce the same amount of new fiat money as we increased value in the country overall.

    THEREFORE

    Hard currency runs short whenever economic velocity increases, and so it appreciates, but it appreciates without contribution to production. Interest on lending to business and industry contributes to production. So appreciation on currency is a form of free riding (rent seeking), where interest in production is not. Fiat currency that prohibits currency appreciation but does not create purchasing power depreciation, prevents free riding on currency appreciation but preserves interest returns that contribute to production. This is, in large part, why the government targets interest rates to judge the money supply. However, they also try to target unemployment. this is the mistake. We can push money from consumers to the banking system for free instead of charging consumers and profiting the banking system.

    —More by William L. Benge—

    The Road to Commonwealth, Insurer of Last Resort.

    1. We know that gold and other forms of money were not always controlled by secular authorities as (or, in the manner in which) they presently are.

    2. Since we hold (successfully argue for) that government must (and does) satisfy utility as insurer of last resort, we are forced by the same to acknowledge the legitimacy of what is NATIONAL fiat currency and what is fair finance for domestics. This is not strained reasoning, simply more nuanced.
