The joke is you dont even need the tourist and the $100 for this example of a closed circular indebted economy. Debt forgiveness with no slippage or leakage.
Could this work internationally ?
Is Janet Yellen waiting for someone to plonk $17 trillion on her doorstep ?
Maybe she should copy Bitcoin and invent a UScoin. 1 coin = 1 billion US dollars, why not? Or 1 Alaska ?
probably more a thread discussion in itself, my bad for interupting the jokes section.....but theoretically probably yes. But you need the same terms for debt forgiveness, same interest rates, durations etc. Thats the slippage and leakage.
In the original joke, you dont actually need the tourist, you just need the same people to realise they all owe each other and they can then call it quits. In the real world its not so clear cut, and usually someone breaks the circle.....eg, what if the prostitute says well I am going to pay a third person $20 of the $100, who does not owe anyone, and then passes on the $80.....whoops! Does the tourist get charged $20 for looking at the room?
The joke then becomes - what do you do with the Alaskans
they are US citizens as well.....why not just sell off to the labour camps all those born between 2011-2015. but its scary that often the flawed reasoning can then become part of a philosophy/mindset
- for economists and non economists.The MSNBC commentators were fawning over these buttocks?
They must be sick in the head over there.
