    There is a way out, but it is not easy. Historically, regulation and standards have required acceptance by progressive business-those firms that recognized they would lose in races to the bottom. Today, corporate and public policy alike are run by the most reactionary elements, well-paid rogues that suck capacity.

  • Thus rather than credit money being created with a lag after government money, the data shows that credit money is created first, up to a year before there are changes in base money. This contradicts the money multiplier model of how credit and debt are created: rather than fiat money being needed to “seed” the credit creation process, credit is created first and then after that, base money changes.

    Argues against the standard view of fiat-money creation by government and in favor of a credit-money view where banks drive the growth of the money supply.
