Enjoying the classical music intro and closing of these podcasts. Can you list the name of the composition of each piece in your podcasts? Is that Chopin in this particular podcast?
My goodness! Catherine you are the most wonderful and knowledgeable person I have ever known! The way information just flows so clearly when you speak on any subject. Thank you for being who you are. I appreciate you so very, very much. (And you have a beautiful voice)
Dear Catherine
You and John discussed how government issued money is free whereas central bank (debt based) money comes with interest. Does this mean that in a period where interest rates are zero (or even negative), central bank money comes with 0% interest i.e. it’s free?
To paraphrase John Titus’ question—Why do educated get duped by the Covid scam?—C.S. Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength” (which Dr. Farrell loves) says it best:
Miss Hardcastle-Of course we’re not political. The REAL power always is.
Mark-I don’t believe you can do that. Not with the papers read by educated people.
MH-That shows you’re still in nursery, lovey. Haven’t you realized that it’s the other way around?
M-How do you mean?
MH-Why, you fool, it’s the EDUCATED readers who can be gulled. All our difficulty comes from with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they’re all propaganda and skips the leading articles…He is our problem: we have to RECONDITION him. But the educated public, the people who read the highbrow weeklies, don’t need reconditioning. They’re all right already. They’ll believe anything.
Great quote. Love Lewis.
I saw John’s presentation at Lake Geneva. Good but some was “above my pay grade.” Wondering if he would provide a reading list of his sources so I can try to grasp what I missed? Thanks!
I will as him to do a bibliography for the Annual Wrap Up.
From John Titus:
The one source to rule them all is Stephen Zarlenga’s the Lost Science of Money (2002). It’s a treatise-length treatment of money, however.
For the Cliff Notes version, this incredible little (114 pages) book is all you really need: Basic Principles of Constitutional Money (1940), by Etta M. Russell, who wrote it as a textbook for high school students, none whom, curiously, ever saw it.
I would also strongly recommend Alexander Del Mar’s History of Money in America (1899). It’s short (118 pages) and does a marvelous job (though not overtly) in destroying the notion that we need a gold-backed monetary system, as that’s exactly what was oppressing the colonists economically and caused them to use paper as money, which in turn infuriated the Crown and led directly to the Revolution.
Finally, I must mention Money Creators (1935), by Gertrude Margaret Coogan and Sen. Robert Owen. Coogan is a literary descendant of Catullus and pulls no punches. For the unvarnished particulars about bankers’ dirty tricks up through the Great Depression (which Coogan shows they intentionally caused), this is it.
There are of course loads of other books, but these latter three should do.
I have read and re-read the “Creature from Jekyl Island” about the creation of the FED and Fiat Monetary Policy. I must say I still don’t get it. Not that I don’t understand the mechanisms at work.. it’s just that every bit of my being feels as if as it is the most evil and unjust system ever. It’s in plain sight for everyone to see yet the common person averts their eyes from it.
Dear Catherine,
Although there was much in this commentary that is excellent, I do not think that Georg Cantor’s mathematics is a track worth following for you. I find it to be fallacious. This is discussed in my book, “The Nature of Infinitesimals.” For your interest, he was very influential in the thinking of Bertrand Russell. Cf, especially, the latter’s :”The Nature of Matter.”
Did not know about Cantor. Joseph’s mention was the first I heard of him. I am an investment banker, not an intellect. 🙂
“The corn does not listen to MSNBC” — my vote for quote of the year. My agricultural experience is limited to a small community garden and still this hits home.
