SUMMARY
  • Without properly understanding money, it’s basically impossible to connect the countless dots of the global macro puzzle.
  • Yet, we assume we know all about money: universities and mainstream economic courses teach us that governments need money to fund their spending, Central Banks have the authority to print money we use, and commercial banks lend and multiply customers’ money in a fractional reserve banking system.
  • That’s literally all wrong. Our monetary and credit system envisages two distinct tiers of money: real-economy money (potentially inflationary) and financial-sector money (potentially asset-price inflationary).
