Greenspan: "There is nothing to prevent the government from creating as much money as it wants."

推荐理由

Here is an old clip of Alan Greenspan explaining to Paul Ryan why the social security system can't go bankrupt.

说明

这是2014年由wonkmonk发布的一部新闻，主题归在Macroeconomics & financial crises。它讲的是government money creation这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：A two-minute clip from a March 2005 House Budget Committee hearing in which Paul Ryan asks Alan Greenspan about personal retirement accounts and social security solvency. Greenspan replies that nothing prevents the government from creating as much money as it wants.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：HN commenters use it as a primary-source clip for the argument that a currency-issuing government cannot go bankrupt in its own currency.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2017年到2026年，有0位不同的读者在0个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合想知道那个时间点大家在争什么的人。结论会过时，争论本身仍然有用。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把government money creation变成能跟着复述的例子。
