This turns out indeed to be “savings,” in one form or another.<BR> The issue can’t be settled until we sit down and say just WHAT lines from the Federal Reserve’s flow of funds accounts are going to be “money,” and what asset-price indices we take.<BR> Do we separate mortgage credit from other forms of credit (leveraged buyout credit for stock prices, or pension fund savings and assets). Can this only be done ex post?<BR> I wish you had been in Split to discuss these. Any chance of your coming to Chicago or
Kansas City in September? Or Berlin in October?<BR>Michael<BR><BR><BR>On 7/28/12 1:40 AM, "Prof. Richard Werner" <werner@profitfund.com> wrote:<BR><BR></SPAN></FONT></FONT>

I certainly had
not come across Innes in my research on monetary systems in Japan and Germany, as, unlike other relevant authors, he did not seem to have been widely read there.<BR> <BR>Surprised you seem to want to measure ‘money’ using things like M2.

Zarlenga argues that this would mean money would be
issued by government interest free and spent into circulation to promote the general welfare, and that substantial expenditures on infrastructure, including human infrastructure (education and health care) would become the predominant method of putting new money into circulation. <BR>Research results are published in Zarlenga's 736 page book, <I>The Lost Science of Money. </I><BR>This book asserts that money did not emerge from barter between individuals, but rather through trade between tribes and as part of religious worship and sacrifice. Though this is not the mainstream view, there are other scholars of money, such as Keith Hart, who agree that money developed in this way. The reason this distinction is believed to be important is because, according to Zarlenga, it is the definition of money which determines how the public will allow the money supply to be controlled. If money is a commodity to be traded, then all that matters is that the money is
100% backed by some commodity, like gold or silver for example. If money is credit, then it makes sense that bankers control it, as they do in the United States today. But if money is an artifact of law, whose value is derived from law (payment of taxes and legal tender laws) then Zarlenga argues it would only be proper for the government to issue, and control the money supply. According to Zarlenga, it is this last definition that is supported by the history and nature of money. Government-controlled money is also postulated to be more stable than credit money or commodity money.<BR>Coins have been claimed to represent an advance over weighing out precious metals with a fixed amount of precious metal being stamped so they need not be weighed and could be exchanged more conveniently than lumps of metal which needed to be weighed<FONT color=#0645ad>[3]</FONT> <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Monetary_Institute#cite_note-2" rel=nofollow
target=_blank><http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Monetary_Institute#cite_note-2></A> . However, Zarlenga emphasises the ratio of gold to silver in ancient coinage, and asserts that the variability in this ratio was crucial to understanding trade in the ancient world, the fall of the Roman Empire, and the drive behind the Crusades. <BR> <BR></SPAN><FONT size=4><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><B>My reflections and comments.<BR></B><BR><B>I.
