The terms Macro, and Micro ETM, or Electronic Transaction Monitoring is a part of my evolving project on Transfinancial Economics, or TFE. Simply stated these two approaches are a way of monitoring money as electronic data of some environmental, and socially ethical commercial project. The aim of this is to keep an eye on the Free Market pricing of goods, and services. It is ofcourse the opposite of full ETM which gives confidence to the credible phasing in of a tax, and interest free world. snip
Robert, I don't have right now to do a serious analysis of your TFE, and I find it odd that you have effectively placed it outside of the various existing or historical discourses regarding economics and as effectively another bit of branding. As you may have noticed in our effort to re-imagine economics it has been fully within economic and monetary history, and in opposition to Neo-classical theo-economics. I will return to this possibly this weekend. I have some rather immediate problems with local disjunctions between premises as expectations versus actual practice. The shadow side of pop-economics is very real, unfortunately. One of the side phenomena of particularly pop-level has been that particularly retired engineers as a profile show up to "fix" economic practice. A worthy goal, though often minus engagement of economic history and practice, but then I seem to have a reputation of being "harsh" in my expectations. Tadit
