Man, this argument is ridiculous. Each new article is even less helpful than the last. Not only can economists not agree on anything, they can't explain anything either.

I didn't understand TC's comments on the matter either, fwiw.

What all these arguments are missing of course is the 'I' of last resort - central bank reserves.

And as usual the problem is that the equation is being read as an time based implication, not an equality at a point in time.

So really I = S (ie I => S).
