Isn’t it about time we had a
Isn’t it about time we had a dedicated pamphlet on this topic, or at least an educational study guide. I am not sure how much and how detailed Darren P intends to include in his effort but i find our responses are scattered higgelty piggelty in articles and on discussion lists eg their mis-quotes, their misrepresentations of early banking history and what not. Surely we should now be considering collating it all into a proper answer to all this since these currency and bank cranks are not going away and are actually gaining influence with many mainstream commentators being taken in by their seemingly authorative-based evidence. And it overlaps from those on the Left and Right wings. It is easy enough to say the Media Committee or whichever department that has the responsibilty to respond to articles and blogs but they require the tools. If we have something substantial and in depth then even ordinary members can respond with its link to debunk any banking and money myths they come across. It may not convince those who appear to have gone beyond facts but for the neutral third-parties i think it is desirable we reach out to them with something meatier to undermine the “reasonable” analysis of Positive Money or NEF I’m not asking too much. I think we have produced enough rebuttals over the years in print and online and all it requires is editing into a single reply and checked and double checked by those i know are well qualified in the subject. i think it should be treated as a priority.
