@lafih22 "@DaBozzCanSockMe @labourlewis @NatureIsaTERF @TheEconomist The fact is the gilt market is subservient to the govt and central bank. They do not dictate interest rates the BoE is given a mandate by the Govt (which can be removed at any time) to control inflation to X% and unwisely uses interest rates as its hammer. Laffer curve is bs"

"@justincbs @labourlewis @NatureIsaTERF @TheEconomist You can only buy what is available for sale in your currency. Setting up bidding wars on finite resources with the private sector will drive prices up. Running a large trade deficit puts pressure on fx prices. No limits per se but certainly negative effects can be induced"

"@DaBozzCanSockMe @labourlewis @NatureIsaTERF @TheEconomist We could stop issuing gilts and bonds any time we like. They are a saving mechanism in XX (the mandate that states equal number of bonds to deficit) was introduced. Before that we just used the Ways and Means account and issues treasury's at our dictated rate and duration"

"@UKDispatchBox @itvpeston @Katie_Lam_MP @ZackPolanski The value of top end assets won't affect the economy in any meaningful sense. The debt level is more of a mirror regarding our trade deficit and lack of investment in the productive economy. Shifting investment away from real estate is a good policy even if it loses tax receipts"

"@grok @JGS952 @DaBozzCanSockMe @labourlewis @NatureIsaTERF @TheEconomist @grok historical reserve expansions Are you talking about QE when central banks reduced the amount of bonds to shift investment into the real estate and shares market to prop up a failing banking system"

"@grok @JGS952 @DaBozzCanSockMe @labourlewis @NatureIsaTERF @TheEconomist So if bonds were not issued letting of real estate regulated and everyone was given a national savings investment account at the central bank at reserve rates we would have investment in business and could reduce demand if required"

"@DavidMcNab17 @TiraDeUrgue @DebateHazel @alexgroundwater @moving_charlie @Davejones0305 Low interest rates need regulation so it pushes investment into the productive sector rather than Real Estate. Higher interest rates direct investment away from productivity and will have a negative effect on the economy as they reward higher quantities of low risk savings"

"@TiraDeUrgue @alexgroundwater @DebateHazel @moving_charlie @Davejones0305 @DavidMcNab17 Apparently the job guarantee is a fiscal stabiliser. Aimed at ensuring unemployed people have a better chance at getting a job. It will never solve unemployment it will give those looking for a job work. But what good is a min wage job to me if I'm unemployed I earn far more"

"@TiraDeUrgue @alexgroundwater @DebateHazel @moving_charlie @Davejones0305 @DavidMcNab17 There's a good article on MMT and inflation I don't ascribe to taxation controlling inflation monthly or quarterly.

"@TiraDeUrgue @alexgroundwater @DebateHazel @moving_charlie @Davejones0305 @DavidMcNab17 The CB sets the base rate. This is a fact. MMT states that interest rates can drive inflation. It is the opposite of why central bankers raise interest rates"

"@TiraDeUrgue @DavidMcNab17 @DebateHazel @alexgroundwater @moving_charlie @Davejones0305 Then you need to learn to ask better questions. You asked how inflation could be controlled by taxation over a monthly or quarterly period. I said it wouldn't be and added a link to the best paper MMT have created on inflation causes and reactions"

"@TiraDeUrgue @DavidMcNab17 @DebateHazel @alexgroundwater @moving_charlie @Davejones0305 The other thing is that many of us don't see CPI as a reliable set of data on inflation as it strikes a line through price differentials that have as much in common as my wages do to Jeff Bezos'"
