Thank you Wally, for your explanation.
The question intreresting to me is how Social Dividend disappears if not via
repayment of loans, as it happens now when money returns to banks as
repayment of bank loans. Present-day money disappears while repayment occurs
and must be reinjected as new loans to compensate its lost. If not, it
disappears from the market, as it was in early days of crisis of 1920-ties.
Taxes recycle money through governments, not cancel them. So - how Dividend
is going to be withdrawn from the market, after being created not as a debt.
It is huge amount of money - some US& 3,77 trillion pumped every year in US
economy as new loans, being ca 30% of US GDP, according to estimations made
in Richard Cook's articles. And not so much but almost so much disappears
each year from the market as repayment of banking loans.
How will 3,77 trillion Dividend disappear each year to stem inflation?
Accounting adjustments could work but only as adjustments made from banking
profits (diminishing them). Are present US banking profits so high? And are
banking elites going to liquidate them?
Sincerely
Kristof
