Banks create money when they lend. Fiat currency issuers create money when they spend. "Crowding out" theory is wrong.

He's not entirely wrong. Raise rates, slow the economy, kill jobs and demand ... and lower inflation. That's the mainstream theory the Fed follows.

Fiat currency issuers like the UK create money from nothing. All gov't spending is done with newly created money. So yes, the money is there, awaiting creation. “...the UK Government creates new money and purchasing power when it undertakes expenditure..." www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/sit...

Google’s proposed backroom deal to avoid regulation in California is bad for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that taxpayer dollars would now go to hedge fund newsrooms.

The Fed’s only inflation-fighting tool is to raise rates and throw people out of work. That does nothing to address supply shocks or price gouging.

People don't trust economists because economists are consistently wrong. Why? Because nearly all economists use faulty neoclassical mainstream economic theories. Take the financial crisis. Neoclassical theory says such an event can't happen. Economists missed it, and still have no answers.
