It's not that money should be scarce: the supply of purchasing power (money
of all kinds) needs to be balanced with the capacity of the economy to
deliver the goods and services the community wishes to buy, at a price level
that involves neither inflation nor deflation.
The typical dollar in Canada has been going from consumer to business and
back again to the consumer approximately twice per year. It should therefore
not be rocket science to work out how much of the medium of exchange there
should be in the community at any time. Calculating this is the reason for
Douglas's recommendation of a National Credit Office.

Subject: [socialcredit] Responding in an economic blog
Hi there.
A blogger left a comment on an economics discussion saying ...
If money wasn't scarce we wouldn't value it. In fact in Zimbabwe inflation
is at 100,000% per annum (about 3% per day) because the government is busy
making money plentiful. The more plentiful it becomes the less it is worth
and in the process those that hold it are robbed of it's buying power. As
the rich tend to own assets like land they are generally insulated and the
burden falls mostly on the poor. Money should be scarce.
How would you respond to this?
