Excellent.<<John Law was just one in a long line of printers to learn the hard way that you shouldn't run the printing presses at full speed ... he didn't have much choice in how fast he ran the printing presses. It's usually the kings that decide how fast they go, not the bankers>> ... you are correct, and not just kings, but electorates, constituents, stakeholders, and the masses. Once the press is switched on and run at a good speed, faster speed and more presses are almost inevitable, until a crisis or a Volker, same difference.<<There appears to be a middle ground that is far from dangerous>> ... I am not sure, because the electorates/stakeholders are powerful, franchised or not.<<... My own experiment ... stubbornly addicted to online gaming and manga>> ... the former may prove very much more useful than the latter, depending on the contents.<<... discovered girls, and now wants a car>> ... nearly time to teach him about accumulating and hiding assets, to 'bomb-proof' himself against the girls.<<Yesterday he wanted to know what long term bonds are paying so he could calculate how much money he would have to invest in government bonds in order to have a decent income>> ... time to explain to him the way of the real fiat money world, and the difference between current income vs pool of reserve.
