Or they do but I feel like the gravity of the statement alone never really registers

Was recently reading a book written a long ass time ago by some Brit where he talked about how a lot of the value in currency (coins and paper of the time) came from the fact that they were all tangible

And now wealth/money is completely digital. Of course the fed still prints shit, but with the amount of people who use Apple Pay/venmo to exchange “money” from person to person?

Actually, does anyone know what I’m trying to say rn? Is money just a Trojan horse?

    Go watch Geopolitical Economy Report they actually discuss monetary theory and even have minidebates (not the blood bowl pageantry you are used to, they are scholarly disagreements in real time and they absolutely kick ass)

    Not the Ben Norton newswipes, I mean the GP Hours with Desai and Hudson. The newswipes are fine just not the important thing here
