Is it possible for central planners’ policies to force the people to increase spending?
Perhaps policy makers believe so as they play their “Grand Theft Auto” game.
Governments have become a menace on Earth
Expect governments to mandate electronic funds transfer, where all government funds and payments will be electronic deposits into only approved financial institutions.
Your freedom of choice will be taken from you and the era of slave wages will have returned.
Government policies and farewell to your savings!
However, the ability of free minded People to be creative and circumvent policy is more likely.
Black markets, barter-trade, complementary/community currencies, silver coins and other options may become more frequent in years ahead.
Small business owners, entrepreneurs, and local communities must create alternatives…
The People are free to make new agreements in pursuit of happiness.
When Larry Summers said interest rates should be negative, he was flying a balloon to see how it was taken. Negative interest rates are coming. When the economy turns down after 2015.75, they cannot lower rates that are already too low, so in their mind, they have to go negative. You will be taxed effectively on money you do not spend.
…
The other balloon of Larry Summers was ELIMINATE cash. He called for moving to ELECTRONIC money. Behind the scenes, this is a HUGE topic. Banks have embraced it everywhere – even in Germany. The various tax authorities see this as a tremendous bonus for they claim it will eliminate the underground economy, law enforcement see it as eliminating drugs etc and the Mafia, but all of this will only create a barter underground economy. The future is going to change in ways you never imagined. –Martin Armstrong
The Internet may lead to a radical change in the nature of money.
Money, according to Lietaer, can be defined in several ways: “Money is information about the way we exchange energy,” he says. “Money is an agreement within a community to use something as a medium of exchange.
The agreement can be conscious or unconscious, coerced or free. Most of us don’t consciously choose our money. We have an opportunity to change that. The Internet is a space where that is possible to do. I expect a flourishing of money systems in the coming years. 95% of these experiments will fail. But the 5% that succeed will change the world.” –Bernard Lietaer

The Call of Our Times
September 3, 2010
Humanity is now at a critical juncture. As Paul Hawken succinctly put it in his inspiring address to Portland University’s graduate class in May of 2009, “civilization needs a new operating system,” and fast. Many of the socio-economic rules under which we operate were created under a worldview that failed to recognize that the earth is a living system and that every form of life has its unique and valuable place and purpose in sustaining the larger web of life.
…
We have at our disposal all the monetary tools we need to reduce poverty, clean up the environment, and provide access to meaningful work, housing and health care. It is now time to use them on a larger scale. A world of sustainable abundance is actually possible, but only if we are willing to upgrade our monetary system so that we can begin to leverage true human wealth, which is our energy and creativity. Will you please join me in making sure that we do not miss this opportunity? Your own future, the future of your children, and of this extraordinary planet is at stake.
