21. Private Monetary Systems And No Bank Of England We will never attain monetary stability while we maintain a a commodity basis forthe currency to ensure Kevin Dowd, Department of economics, University of http://www.globalideasbank.org/BOV/BV-107.HTML

Private monetary systems and no Bank of England 'The Bank of England should be abolished, private banks should be allowed to issue their own currency, and money should be backed by a basket of commodities - thus a typical consumer's weekly 'shopping basket' would make up the new pound sterling' Kevin Dowd in a booklet entitled 'Private Money' (details below) suggests that the Bank of England should be abolished, that private banks should be allowed to issue their own currency, and that money should be backed by a basket of commodities - thus a typical consumer's weekly 'shopping basket' would make up the new pound sterling, chosen in such a way that the value of the pound would not alter as the new definition took effect. The historical evidence indicates that private monetary systems, as in Scotland from 1728 to 1844, have been stable and successful. Whereas the Bank of England, claims Dowd, 'has a record of losses which is comparable to those of the worst managed nationalised trading companies.' He concludes that: 'The lessons of history are very clear. We will never attain monetary stability while we maintain a heavily regulated banking system and entrust its safety and the value of the currency to a central bank. The record of government money is a record of disaster. We must entrust the safety of the banking system instead to those who have a self-interest in protecting it, and we must re-establish a commodity basis for the currency to ensure that prices remain stable'.

Citizens' Commission into 9-11 The economic system is deeply flawed and has served to concentrate money, land and power in the hands of a few. The concentration of economic power and ecological devastation have heralded the collapse of many civilizations and empires. At this time in history, humanity must choose between the health and well-being of our planet, humanity, and other lifeforms, or the further enrichment of the ruling elite. The choice is clear. The World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, World Economic Forum, and "Trade Agreements," such as the Multilateral Agreement on Investments (MAI) blatantly favor the rich over all environmental and human rights concerns (see http://www.tradewatch.org/ ). Civil society is now engaged in a tremendous struggle against these deadly institutions which value money over life. Opposition to the M.A.I., World Bank, the W.T.O. has grown and had some dramatic victories, but the struggle continues.(

Before the invention of money, people used a barter system. Bartering relied on the direct exchange of goods and services. For example, if a chicken farmer wanted to acquire a knife, he would have to go to the knife-maker and exchange some of his chickens for a knife. If the knife-maker did not want to trade a knife for the chickens, the farmer would have to go through several different exchanges of goods or services (to find something the knife-maker did want) before the transaction could take place. The exchange would be dependent on both parties desiring the items being bartered.

International Monetary and Financial Systems Prerequisite: 45-749 Managerial Economics Recommended: 45-753 Macroeconomics This course will be devoted to economic analysis of exchange rate behavior, balance of payments adjustments, and other topics in the area of international monetary and macro economics. An important objective will be to develop a deep enough understanding of these phenomena to permit one to critically evaluate arguments relating to devaluations, exchange rate crises, policy regime changes, and related matters that have been prominent in the news of the past few years. Toward that end a simple but versatile theoretical model of exchange rate determination will be developed and used in policy-analysis exercises. Considerable emphasis will be given to issues concerning alternative monetary systems: fixed vs. flexible exchange rates, currency unions, currency boards, inflation targeting regimes, and so on. Some historical consideration of the pre-1914 gold standard and the 1945-1971 Bretton Woods system will be included, as well as institutional discussion of the recently created European Monetary System. The role of the International Monetary Fund in preventing or promoting crises will be considered.

The Tangible Standard © 2000 Intelegen Inc. Past = gold standard Present = fiat money with inflation and insecurity Currently currency is back by a promise, a promise that can be broken. This promise backed currency can be inflated and deflated it is not a secure. The new tangible standard replaces fiat money and provides a cost efficient participant supported infrastructure. Never before possible, the growth and advancement of computer technology has made the new system a reality. Trillions upon trillions of transaction can be tracked and initiated at almost zero cost at the speed of light. What is it? Monetary units backed by tangible assets like land, buildings, stocks, bonds, commodities, energy, water and even pizza. The system is set to launch in the year 2000 using the global Internet, client and ISP computers and servers. (Read about intermestic currency). Would you rather have a monetary unit backed by a promise or that 10-acre parcel of land down the street? What becomes of the dollar? The new "gestalt" dollar is based on energy. Energy expended to initiate property transfer (based on the new internally developed property transfer physics, which replaces conventional particle physics), create boundaries, new forms and acquire raw materials. What about interest? Interest as we know it in the new system is a different form and is not attached to the creation of new monetary units. Instead thousands may loan directly to borrowers in return for dividends. But it is not a loan, as you now know it, it is actually a contribution of energy and or raw materials to produce a finished product. The combined efficiencies decrease the energy required to produce a product or service below the actual value (the amount of energy another entity will in general contribute in some form to acquire the product or service). This difference is the energy multiplier and is the newly created wealth. Risk is minimized by the ability of those that contribute energy to obtain records of prior performance of an each individual entity and the entities combined as gestalt entity. It further minimized by the ability to monitor in real time the expenditure of "contributed" energy and actual production of finished goods or services.

A Critical Review of SOFT CURRENCY ECONOMICS by Pavlina R. Tcherneva Gettysburg College INTRODUCTION Warren Mosler has worked as a fixed income trader for over twenty years and is the cofounder of III Finance, an international investment company that specializes in local currency sovereign debt. In his essay Soft Currency Economics he draws from his experience as a practitioner in financial markets in analyzing the underlying forces at work in a modern monetary system. Interestingly, this analysis incorporates several postulates that can be considered logical extensions of Post Keynesian monetary thought. Considering the fact that he had no exposure to the Post Keynesian school of thought before writing his paper, it is fascinating to see the striking similarities between important aspects of his analysis and Post Keynesian monetary theory. Furthermore, Mosler's work deserves serious consideration for the valuable insights into the monetary system that are not currently focused on by the academic world, policymakers, or the general public. The remainder of this paper will be organized as follows: The first section will review the points of contact between Mosler's Soft Currency Economics and Post Keynesian monetary theory. The next section will focus on those aspects of Mosler's analysis that may be considered as possible extensions of Post Keynesian monetary thought.

Did any of the attempts to resolve the problems of the Bretton-Woods system help or hinder its survival? Describe the main factors that led to the formation of the Eurocurrency markets in the 1950’s and 1960’s. What if any were the negative effects of the growth in these markets over the last 30 years? Identify the main costs and benefits of international macroeconomic policy coordination. Compare the costs and benefits with the aid of a model of your choice. Describe the main elements of optimum currency area theory. Is the European Union (EU) an optimal currency area? Describe the Barro-Gordon model. Use the model to explain why the credibility of the Bundesbank was fundamental to the success of the European single currency. Examine the various factors that led to the European Exchange Rate Mechanism moving to wider bands (15%) in 1993. Has the ‘softening’ of the Maastricht criteria affected the performance of the European single currency?
