Warren Mosler on CNBC

In: Uncategorized

Warren Mosler’s appearance on CNBC has started a controversial debate in the midst of the fiscal crisis of Greece.
It all boils down to understanding monetary operations:

  • An ECB distribution to European States entails no issuing of debt;
  • Taxing functions to regulate demand, it does not actually collect revenue;
  • When China buys US Treasury securities, it makes no specific resource available to the United States: just moving a credit entry from one account to another;

And if you think: “oh, this is ridiculous, it just can’t be so easy!” think again and seek some answers on this website.
