    ===

    Wondering if you’d be willing to do a chat.

    We both started working on similar problems at about the same time. And have come to similar conclusions although not identical through different methods.

    I know that the difference in our work comes down to the difference between aggregates and consumption under the assumption of common good on your end, and truthfulness, morality, and rational cooperation under the assumption of not doing ‘bad’ on mine.

    And perhaps nothing more than the difference between dysgenic and eugenic reproduction as the translation of the criteria we both call that “assumption” of common good or ‘doing bad’.

    With that understanding (if we can achieve it) I feel you are better informed than I am on the consequences of MMT and inflation on prices, credit, debt and possibly information.

    Now I am not an MMT supporter but it is the only referrer I know that has enough meaning to provide a starting point.

    And while I agree that the K/NK movements describe cause and consequence. I do not think it constitutes a full accounting of consequence, and as such is insufficient. Nor do I find agreement with discretionary action rather than rule of law in matters of influencing the economy by policy means. Any more than I find agreement with discretion in rule of law in the practice of law, or policy.

    The problem we (both) face in this subject matter is that there are very few people with broad enough knowledge of the various movements to converse with. Particularly the relatively serious failure of the 20th century thinkers to solve the problem of social science (the Wilsonian Synthesis) and its consequence.

    It would help me a great deal if we could talk through this set of ideas. I would be hopeful it would be equally helpful to you as well.

    Thanks

    Germany Must Abandon her Self Punishment and return to Leadership of the West. I am not at this point sure Germany should bear any guilt in the first place. We were wrong, and Germany was right. I suspect coming to terms with this will be a great challenge for Germans. (It was a great challenge for me.)

    But Germany (Hanseatica) is the heart of the west. Unless she defends us from the east we will die.

    —“By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The process engages all of the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner that not one man in a million can diagnose.”— JM Keyens

    Somehow, the “extra-judicial theft of purchasing power and wealth via inflation” (the operative Keynesian mechanism for curing a “lack of aggregate demand”) disappeared from Keynes’ narratives by the 1930s. – Bob Roddis

    Yes, agrees that care is better here, even if surgery better in the states.

    Why? Diagnostic attention.
