“ If the Reserve authorities buy government bonds in the open market and thereby swell bank reserves, the banks will not put these funds to work but will simply hold reserves.… In terms of the quantity theory of money, we may say that the velocity of circulation of money does not remain constant. “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” You can force money on the system in exchange for government bonds, its close money substitute; but you can’t make the money circulate against new goods and new jobs. “
Reification of abstractions of the Accounting discipline… he thinks the figure of speech “money” is real and can be “held” and “circulate” … you can run out of it, etc… relies on figures of speech “you can lead a horse to water!” etc…

And who is Brandon, again?
ReplyDeleteStock car driver Brandon Brown is as famous as Alan Dershowitz's missing briefs.
