A GREAT RESET FOR THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM

To answer this question, this book starts from the observation that public debt is not the same kind of debt that ordinary people can contract among themselves or with their banks, even if the words and legal forms used are the same. Indeed, public debt is above all a particular form of money, because money, like public debt, is above all a credit on all citizens. The money we use is also an acknowledgement of debt. We cannot therefore reason about public debt by making analogies with private debt. The substance of the subject should not be confused with the usual conventional forms. Because it’s also money, public debt can be cancelled without destabilizing the activity.

Fortunately, because this measure is necessary to unblock political and economic actors, but the prosperity desired by all requires real monetary reforms and reforms of the international monetary system to eliminate the inexorable trend of indebtedness observed over the last 40 years : we need a great reset for the financial system.
