History of MMT and the euro, 1996 Bretton Woods Conference

From Warren Mosler: *History of MMT and the euro, 1996 Bretton Woods Conference

Worth reprinting far & wide.
This all got briefly forgotten in the rush to capitalize on .. er loot, after .. the shattering of Glass Steagall.

The truth can't set anyone free if it is deliberately archived, unused.

[Note: they even sent goods & news back in time on the 2nd day! :) ]

             A FRAMEWORK FOR  ECONOMIC ANALYSIS 

                 An Invitational Conference

                Bretton Woods, New Hampshire

                    June 12-15, 1996


The purpose of this conference is to bring together a selected
        group of portfolio managers, analysts, researchers
        traders, and academics who have a common understanding
        of monetary operations.

The objective of this conference is to achieve agreement on the use
        of a common conceptual framework for undertaking
        contemporary macroeconomic analysis.

Portfolio managers in attendance are responsible for well over
        $50 billion in assets.  The economists and analysts from the
        international dealer community represent some of the world?s
        largest and most sophisticated fixed income trading and sales
   operations.

We believe that this group has the potential to establish an international
        standard for the presentation and analysis of economic data.

Several of the fundamentals are  Post Keynesian...

                Deposit money is endogenous
                Central Banks set short term rates exogenously
                Deposits exist solely as the result of loans

Extension of these fundamentals includes...                             
                                                
                Internal sovereign debt functions as interest
                    rate support
                Taxes create a demand for the goverment's
                    currency
                Fiat currency is defined exogenously
