Dear Tadit,<br><br>would you have a list of your monetary book reviews?<br><br>Michel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 7:12 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ideasinc@ee.net">ideasinc@ee.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

the AMI proposal is a half measure, and it relies upon the legislative<br>
process and celebrity politics. I suggested to Stephen Z. at the AMI's<br>
first annual conference the utility of a p2p like process to demonstrate<br>
what a sovereign currency would operate(hence the CRX as a learning<br>
process). He chose to structure local chapters as advocacy groups solely<br>
toward national level legislation for reform. The MMT folks believe that<br>
by the use of reserve accounting as used by the central banks and that<br>
Pres. R. Nixon took the US economy off of the gold standard in 1971 by<br>
executive order, federal level legislation is not required for monetary<br>
reform. I have labored to bring the two perspectives together, and Stephen<br>
seems to regard the MMT people as an opposition to his agenda. I have done<br>
several reviews of pop-level books on monetary economics for the AMI and<br>
have been invited to speak several times by Stephen Z. and continue to<br>
have conversations with him during the year. I believe that the Kucinich<br>
legislation is a worthy effort and doomed at the gate due to massive<br>
economic illiteracy, particularly at the legislative level. My approach is<br>
more on the lines of if the people will lead, the politicians will follow.<br>
<br>
as we go, Tadit<br>
<br>
