We'll simply create a new global currency system and reset, with an implied debt forgiveness (as Prof. Michael Hudson is fond of saying, debts that can't be repaid won't be repaid). It's likely there'll be an even greater crisis than what we're going through - a war perhaps. We could end up with a Renminbi-backed cryptocurrency, just like Bretton Woods ended the British Empire, so the next crisis will probably end the American one.

    Gary, Double entry accounting is different in essence. It essentially implies that a transaction shall have equal debit and credit effects. Debit doesn’t essentially imply someone to receive. Nor does a credit imply that someone will be giving. Debit and credit have different meaning depending on whether you are dealing with as an asset or a liability, or an equity.

      Hi thank you for sharing this. I studied architecture but now I am in love with economics. I want to study it without having to go through the degree route. Any advice on what to do and how to go about it?

    Right when the discussion turns into the conduct of the Federal Reserve, the discussion turns vague. So dollars are considered liability against the double-ledger books of the Federal Reserve, but we don't know what the asset is that balances against that liability. What is that asset? How did the Federal Reserve acquire that asset?

    I'd say that the inherent value of cryptocurrency or "non-fiat" as he mentions around 11:00 is the blockchain &/or smart contracts the technology backing it up & also when it performs a service, as in a crypto like Matic & the Polygon network for example with helps global supply chains of goods, also NFT's just as any art, have at least intrinsic value of what a collector is willing to pay for art,collectibles, etc So it certainly has value that most out of the crypto loop don't know & don't get.
