Rachel E. S. Loesche<p>In case you haven't read The Global Minotaur by Yanis Varoufakis, here is a note about it, with some edits, that I sent to a friend this morning while discussing why the book is so important for us all to understand if we want to organize and form a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> that can stand the test of time and resist authoritarianism:</p><p>"[The book] details the history [of international economics] from about 1942 to 2008 and that history exposes the way that all local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economics</span></a> and the social forces mediated by them actually begin with policies set by the international central bank.</p><p>That understanding enables you to see how the central bank should be structured to regulate global trade and mediate accounting. The IMF must transform into an institution where all people and states are equally represented -- that is, it must be comprised of a network of equals, with no member serving as an authority more than any other. [It must serve to keep track of accounting for trade and it must be rules-based such that there are equal limits on states' surplus and deficits, so that any state whose surplus or deficit is approaching a limit is readily motivated to correct in the direction away from the limit. The actual balance and regulation economists say they and financial institutions seek can be built into the policies, thereby motivating national economic laws in relation to other states instead of setting no limits and constantly pretending to "benevolently" clean up messes (issue loans) that its own policies indirectly made (by devaluing currencies unequally to enrich its "reserve" countries.) </p><p>Instead it functions like such an autocracy. Its nominal leaders are just those figureheads of the states that supposedly possess the most money. Those states' currencies are treated as the "reserves" and are in surplus as well as high demand due to those artificial debts to the World Bank imposed by the World Bank onto "poor" countries, as if such assertions had any moral legitimacy beyond the arbitrary power of the strongest (unsurprisingly richest) militaries. That amount of wealth is circularly determined by the exchange rates set by the IMF itself (i.e., the figureheads of "rich" states and their administrators).</p><p>Exposing the structure of the IMF/World Bank exposes how finance capitalism works in practice at its base, and that leads to the awareness that it is possible and necessary to insist that superstructure transform in a particular way if we want to move all other economic factorsinto balance according to our intuitive conceptions of justice." </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MonetaryPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonetaryPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Class" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Class</span></a></p>
