Talk:Dreams That Money Can Buy

message: I'm gradually working on the plot summary, re-watching the film. It is too complex to do from memory, and the dream-logic and symbolism of the narrative is very complicated. I will probably find I have written too much by the end of it. If anyone wants to add or remove details please do so. High Heels on Wet Pavement 22:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You and I may know what Mamay represents (I'm spelling it this way to differentiate between the actual :Mamai), but the article is currently very uninformative.

thread_title: Copper

message: the value of the currency derives from the market value of the commodity upon which it is based independent of its monetary role
If the value of a gold coin is the same as that of the unminted gold from which it was made (the market price of gold), then the minting of coins would occur only at a perpetual loss.
As nobody would ever do such a thing, coins should not be minted & therefore should not exist.
As coins do exist & minting is not a losing endeavour, the value of coins CANNOT be determined by their composition.
Metallism fails to account for the evidence.  Its predictions are contradicted by the evidence.

replies: text: There are significant advantages to be gained from minting metals into coins, ingots, or bars.

Farolif (talk) 20:47, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

text: The problem is your argument lacks logic. How can a coin made of 1g of gold be worth any more or less than 1g of gold for any sustainable period? If fiat assigns a value to the coin of less than 1g of gold, then people will hoard the coins for their commodity value until the minters either lose their supplies (effective bankruptcy), or agree to increase the coins' value to encourage their circulation. If fiat assigns a value to the coin of more than 1g of gold, then people will create identical coins of gold for profit, again until the minters either go broke from redeeming more coins than were alloted, or decrease the coins' value to discourage their reproduction.

Talk:Mutual credit

message: I don't think this page should be merged into mutualism (economic theory).  There is a connection between mutualism and mutual credit, but I don't think that the connection is strong enough to warrant a merge.  If mutual credit were deemed insignificant enough that it did not deserve its own page, I think it would be better to merge it into alternative currency, as both of those pages are smaller and they seem to have more in common.  Personally, I would oppose merging it into anything; I think this page on mutual credit should be expanded and kept in its own right.  This is especially true if we want to have a balanced geographic coverage.  Some points to think about:
* Mutual credit can and is used by people who do not necessarily adhere to the philosophy of mutualism.  Much of the stuff I've read about mutual credit does not explicitly mention the philosophy of mutualism.
* Mutualism is much broader than the idea of mutual credit, and mutualists advocate all sorts of reforms in society, ones that go much deeper than the implementation of a mutual credit system alone.

Well, either I don't understand the notion of money (and monetary "mass"), or all of this is wrong. First, please note the reification of money explicit in terms --but all economic discourse is like that (while economists enjoy joking at laypeople talking of money as a thing.). 
In mutual credit as in LETS, at transacion time, the value is just noted on a registry. There is no "creation" of money. There is no "expansion" or "contraction". The sum of money is at each instant 0. This manifests by the fact that, on the registry, what is noted on a person's account in + is noted on another person's account in -.

message: Money is an invention of the human mind. The creation of money is made possible because human beings have the capacity to accord value to symbols."
Umm, what about when money is not just a symbol?  Money always starts out as commodity money.  Otherwise who would accept it?  Money starts out originally as just indirect exchange.  A guy trades his sheep for wheat *not* because he wants the wheat, but because he wants fish and the fish guy likes wheat.  That wheat is being used as money.  I could agree that money is an invention in the sense that someone at some point came up with this idea of trading for something he didn't really want in order to use it as an intermediary good.  But it's clear that's not the sense you meant it.  You're trying to say money is imaginary, symbolic, an abstract consruct.  That is your point of view.  But.... it's your point of view.
