John Dorge says:
Thank you for your response. At first glance it would seem to square, but upon further reflection it’s still unclear to me.
Are not treasury securities and reserves a separate world from the real economy operations of a commercial bank? Can a bank create a debt for the state to buy the treasury security in the same sense as it can for a mortgage borrower?
Isn’t the consequence of double-entry book keeping that any bank is capable of lending to that borrower without regard for the finite position of its reserves? If so, shouldn’t competition for these loans drive commercial rates down to some risk premium?
Thanks again for your time.
Nyn D says:
Should the policy rates be set at zero?
If so, what is the next role of central bankers?
Richard Murphy says:
Your answer is?
Francisco J Flores says:
I disagree with Warren. No reason the Job Gty couldn’t be permanent. You can start with: Execute on national “To-Do List” (infrastructure; alternative energy; high speed rail; rehire every teacher, fire fighter, cop laid off in last 8 years; quintuple trade school and community college staff – free tuition. If folks don’t have skills, train them.

Nyn:
Yes, I have proposed a permanent 0 rate policy. And I see no evidence that a 0 rate policy causes inflation or currency depreciation, but anecdotal evidence of the reverse- it promotes price stability and a strong currency.
And the role of central bankers is banking regulation and supervision.
John Dorge:

LET ME FIRST STATE THAT ALL BANKS- CENTRAL AND COMMERCIAL- ARE JUST T ACCOUNTS. THAT SAID,
TSY SECS AND RESERVES ARE BANK ACCOUNTS AT THE CENTRAL BANK, FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL TO CHECKING AND SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, FOR EXAMPLE, AT COMMERCIAL BANKS.
BALANCES IN RESERVE ACCOUNTS AND SECURITIES ACCOUNTS AT A CENTRAL BANK ONLY CHANGE WHEN THE CB CHANGES THEM,
WHICH IS CALLED DEBITING AND CREDITING ACCOUNTS- AGAIN FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL TO COMMERCIAL BANKS DEBITING AND CREDITING ACCOUNTS ON THEIR BOOKS.
Can a bank create a debt for the state to buy the treasury security in the same sense as it can for a mortgage borrower?
YES, A COMMERCIAL BANK COULD IN THEORY LEND DIRECTLY TO THE TREASURY AND BOOK A NEW LOAN AND A NEW BANK DEPOSIT ON ITS BOOKS.
Isn’t the consequence of double-entry book keeping that any bank is capable of lending to that borrower without regard for the finite position of its reserves?
YES, THOUGH STATE REGULATION CAN DISRUPT THAT CONDITION.
If so, shouldn’t competition for these loans drive commercial rates down to some risk premium?
IT DOES.
Thanks again for your time.
YOU’RE MOST WELCOME!

FOR ME, THOSE TYPES OF JOBS FALL UNDER ‘NORMAL PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT’ AND SHOULD BE HIRED AND PAID ACCORDINGLY, VS WHAT I’VE CALLED THE TRANSITION JOB, WHICH IS FOR THE ‘EXTRA’ PEOPLE THAT HAVE BECOME UNEMPLOYED DUE TO STATE POLICY WITH THE STATE NOT DESIRING TO HIRE THEM. THE POINT THEN IS TO RETURN THESE PEOPLE TO PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYMENT, A PROCESS FACILITATED BY A TRANSITION JOB AS I’VE DESCRIBED.

Has any country tried this and been successful at it? Just seems that so many politicians want to be popular and here is this fool-proof method of creating economic heaven and yet no politician has used it.
Makes one wonder.
Richard Murphy says:
It’s only recently been appreciated
That’s why

Richard Murphy says:
The Bank of England only recognised this in 2014. It took it 320 years to do so. I call that ‘just’.
And the issue is being discussed by academics who are open-minded. Simon Wren-Lewis, for example, discusses it. And Galbratih, and many others.
