Thatcher was wrong about public money, but neoliberalism feted her fictions...

The following study of UK (ditto US, etc) govt spending debunks the lie:
It shows that the UK govt creates £s whenever it spends. Neither taxes nor borrowing are required.
The first detailed analysis of UK govt spending shows that "public expenditure is always financed through money creation rather than taxation or debt issuance."
Ik wil ook niet beweren dat ik het volledig doorgrond maar ik weet wel dat de wereld al 40 jaar beweegt van solidariteit naar win/verlies. Wat Trump ook denkt.
En ik weet uit ervaring dat na WO2 in heel korte tijd de wereld enorm veel beter is geworden. Door #sociaaldemocratie. #onderwijs #zorg #wonen #pensioenen en meer. Tot de jaren 80. Maar we begrijpen maar steeds niet hoe dat komt. #thatcher #neoliberalisme #pensioen #aandelen
#podcast recommendation:
I'm loving Legacy with Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan. I've just listened to their series on #Thatcher. As a child of the Thatcher years I'm always seeking to understand properly where she and her ideas came from and understand where they led. This series was excellent for that.
