23. The Demonic Cabal's Economic War Against The World Modern American currency is an interesting example of how the demonic cabal has Modern monetary systems have a fiat base literally money by decree http://www.hermes-press.com/econ2.htm

The Demonic Cabal's Economic War Against the World By Norman D. Livergood "Government is the only agency that can take a valuable commodity like paper, slap some ink on it, and make it totally worthless." Ludwig von Mises Modern American currency is an interesting example of how the demonic cabal has brainwashed common citizens to believe dangerous lies. Most Americans have no idea of how their currency is produced, if it has any intrinsic value, and how it is used by those in power to steal from the people. For example, when I asked college students this question I received very interesting answers: "Can United States currency be redeemed in gold only, or can it also be redeemed in silver?" 62% said that our currency is redeemable in both gold and silver. 35% said that is redeemable in neither gold nor silver. 19% said that it is redeemable only in gold. 8% admitted they didn't know. 0% said that it is redeemable in silver. (the answers were not mutually exclusive, thus the total percentage is more than 100%) Most Americans have been conditioned to believe unquestioningly in the infallibility of the American monetary system and in the financial stability and integrity of the American government. If we were awake to reality, we'd realize that we have our very survival staked on those beliefs.

24. Money Supply, By Anna J. Schwartz: The Concise Encyclopedia Of Economics: Librar currency and bank reserves added together equal the monetary base, sometimesknown as highpowered money. McCallum, Bennett T. monetary economics. 1989. http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/MoneySupply.html

Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Home ... and Help Money Supply by Anna J. Schwartz What Is the Money Supply? These measures correspond to three definitions of money that the Federal Reserve uses: M1, a narrow measure of money's function as a medium of exchange; M2, a broader measure that also reflects money's function as a store of value; and M3, a still broader measure that covers items that many regard as close substitutes for money. Why Is the Money Supply Important? Because money is used in virtually all economic transactions, it has a powerful effect on economic activity. An increase in the supply of money puts more money in the hands of consumers, making them feel wealthier, thus stimulating increased spending. Business firms respond to increased sales by ordering more raw materials and increasing production. The spread of business activity increases the demand for labor and raises the demand for capital goods. In a buoyant economy, stock market prices rise and firms issue equity and debt. If the money supply continues to expand, prices begin to rise, especially if output growth reaches capacity limits. As the public begins to expect inflation, lenders insist on higher interest rates to offset an expected decline in purchasing power over the life of their loans. Opposite effects occur when the supply of money falls, or when its rate of growth declines. Economic activity declines and either disinflation (reduced inflation) or deflation (falling prices) results.

25. South-Western: European Monetary Union The economic advantages of EMU European monetary Union increase in proportionto the size Economic and monetary Union The Making of a New currency http://www.swlearning.com/economics/policy_debates/monetary_union.html

Policy Debate: Will the European Monetary Union succeed? Issues and Background The introduction of the euro... has clear economic advantages. It removes the uncertainty over exchange rates from a large part of Europe.... It increases the transparency of the European market, which makes it easier to benefit from economies of scale, but - or rather, in addition - it encourages competition. The European System of Central Banks will also try to bring about price stability over a large area which, if successful, will be an important condition for a sustainable, real (i.e., actual) growth in income and employment. The economic advantages of EMU [European Monetary Union] increase in proportion to the size and stability of the euro region. Willem F. Duisenberg The ultimate irony, of course, is that the attempt to bind the European countries together in an artificial currency straight-jacket without political unity and common political will is bound to result in the exact opposite of what its founders intended: It will lead to a situation where individual national leaders will blame their economic and financial problems on the monetary straight-jacket forced upon them. One can well envision a situation in which Spanish leaders will claim that unemployment is so high because the European Central Bank's monetary policy is too tight, while at the same time Germany's leaders will blame the central bank for too high an inflation rate. This is not a recipe for monetary, economic and political harmony.

Comparative Economics Systems Title Introduction Are Economic Sanctions Effective in Altering a Country's Actions? Full Debate Economic sanctions have often been used by the U.S. and other countries in attempts to alter the behavior of the target countries. These sanctions typically include general or selective trade embargoes, restrictions on foreign investment, and restriction on travel to and from the affected country. What are the pros and cons of IMF involvement with global economies? Full Debate A new international monetary system was adopted as a result of the Bretton Woods conference of 1944. Under this new monetary system, the value of the U.S. dollar was fixed in terms of gold and all other currencies were assigned exchange values in terms of either gold or the U.S. dollar. The U.S. agreed to maintain the value of the dollar at $35 per ounce of gold; other countries agreed to maintain the exchange value of their currencies within one percent of the target exchange rates. Under this system, countries could alter their exchange rates only with the consent of the other IMF members.

28. The Gold Standard Is A Better Monetary System. The history of monetary systems The first economic activity was undoubtedly Argentina did not need a gold standard to tie its currency to a more http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-gold.htm

Myth: The gold standard is a better monetary system. Fact: The gold standard causes deflation and depressions. Summary The far right advocates the gold standard because it gets government out of the business of controlling the money supply. They fear that printing money creates inflation, and retracting money causes recessions. But the opposite is also true: printing money cures recessions, and retracting it cures inflation. Governments in the last 60 years have used these policies with tremendous success. There has not been a single depression or bank panic in any nation anywhere in the world using Keynesian monetary policies. But during the Gilded Age of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, depressions and bank panics were common. The historical record is so strong that mainstream economists reject the gold standard almost universally. Argument Once the subject of heated national debate over 100 years ago, the gold standard today has nearly disappeared as a political issue. The world has abandoned the gold standard in favor of so-called "paper money," and only a diminishing group on the far right continues to call for its return. However, if mainstream economists (on both the left and the right) have anything to say about it, there will never be a return to "that barbarous relic," as John Maynard Keynes called gold over 60 years ago.

29. Offshore E-Money Issuers And Monetary Policy The Need to Integrate Payment systems The economics of Offshore Money Creation However, the working of the monetary system would not be severely http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue6_10/krueger/

Technically, it is conceivable that banks (or even non-banks) that are based in offshore centres can issue e-money and distribute it via the Internet all over the world. Therefore, many economists see offshore e-money issuers as a severe threat to the ability of central banks to conduct monetary policy. In this paper, it is argued that offshore issuers will denominate their e-money products in terms of existing currencies. Therefore they will be affected by monetary policy measures in the same way as onshore banks. Contents The Need to Integrate Payment Systems The Economics of Offshore Money Creation Conclusions Technically, it is conceivable that banks (or even non-banks) that are based in offshore centres can issue e-money and distribute it via the Internet all over the world. For national governments, there seems to be no practical way to prevent its citizens to use such e-money balances for payments. Therefore, the question arises whether central banks will still be able to conduct monetary policy in the future. In addition, law enforcement authorities are worried about increased tax avoidance and money laundering (McCullagh, 2000). This paper will mainly deal with the first aspect, the implications of offshore e-money issuing for monetary policy. ]. This article shows that the position of central banks may be more robust than it seems.

My principal research areas are monetary and banking theory, monetary history, and macroeconomics. I also dabble in the history of economic thought. My current major research project is on the theory and history of private coinage. Two other topics that have always interested me are free banking and deflation. Private Coinage My most recent research project consists of an ongoing investigation into historical episodes of private coinage - rare cases in which governments failed to monopolize the minting of coins, allowing private mints to supply coins on a competitive basis. Economists have almost universally tended to support governments' traditional coinage "prerogative," claiming that private mints would tend to issue inferior and irregular coins. They often appeal to Gresham's Law, according to which bad coins will tend to drive good coins out of circulation. Properly understood, however, Gresham's Law actually explains what tends to happen when governments

Boundaries between domestic and foreign currency vanish as intermestic currency comes into being. W e are developing a system that will move your money globally at the speed of light to the highest bidder on a daily basis eventually as frequent as every minute. Whoever will pay the most to borrow your money will have it whoever will charge the least to hold your debt will own it. Not just a single entity but multiple entities may borrow or loan a single block of your economic units using block partitioning algorithms. We have in development Intelligent Digital Agents (IDAs) that will replace the current activities of the banker, financial analyst, money manager, loan officer, and teller. System security, validation, authentication and coordination of Monetary Unit (MU) holdings are provided by Certificate Authorities. Risk assessment managers certify and evaluate entities providing profiles and ratings for individuals and companies. What we know now as mutual fund managers, stock brokers, and financial analysts will manage, train and transfer their intelligence and knowledge to the IDAs. Secondary to this is each economic participant defining his or her preferences and adding still more intelligence to the IDA.
