the transformation of self-sufficient local economies into the unwitting and dependent consumers of global supply chains is bad macroeconomic policy.
”..the primary beneficiary of the ideology of money scarcity, however, is the modern corporation -especially the multi-national corporation which has as its business model the transformation of self-sufficient local economies into the unwitting and dependent consumers of global supply chains from which the corporations greatly profit. The ideology of money scarcity assists this business model in numerous ways. The most powerful assist derives from the perception that the corporate economy itself is the “broker” of the money that’s available to be used in the world. This perception is projected and reinforced by the global stock and financial markets which seem to be the exclusive decision-makers about who gets to spend money, and for what purpose—even to the point of establishing and reinforcing the belief that sovereign governments themselves must borrow their money from the corporate economy’s “financial industry.”
Thus the multi-national corporations are positioned perfectly to manipulate and guide the political decisions that support their business model, and their bottom line.”
We seem to have forgot the simple fact that a sovereign government like the one here in Sweden, is the monopoly issuer of the currency, and it is by mishandling this, our sovereign rights to our currency that creates the difficult conditions for the domestic companies, our common domestic economy, and for the people in the thinly populated areas of our country.
