As announced in today's @dealbook, the @ecashact directs the Secretary of the @USTreasury to develop & pilot digital dollar technologies that replicate the privacy-respecting features of physical cash. 2/6
Recognizing the @USTreasury as an institution ideally suited to managing a digital U.S. dollar, the Act treats monetary inclusion & privacy as political rights & public goods. 3/6
At the same time, the ECASH Act eschews the exclusionary & ecologically destructive effects of crypto currencies that rely on blockchain technologies. 4/6
For more details, be sure to follow @ecashact & explore the ECASH Act website. ecashact.us

✨We Have Never Been Neoliberal, What Now?✨

Please listen & share.

(Description in thread below.)

In this episode, co-hosts @orangeasm & @MaxSeijo argue that the pandemic not only killed neoliberalism as a tacit ideological formation; it also revealed how neoliberal truisms have never captured the actual causal mechanisms and potentials that defined the past 50 years. 2/7
Fleshing out these claims, Naty and Maxx journey through the work of rockstar economic historian @adam_tooze, focusing in particular on his widely-hailed recent book, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World’s Economy (2021). 3/7

"Given that money was politicized for such long periods, the current rise of politicization is much less surprising than it might appear at first sight. There’s a lot of history." 1/4 mronline.org/2019/09/13/mon…
"This is not something that emerges out of nothing. It’s clear that in the decade since Occupy Wall Street, MMT has punctured monetary silence." 2/4
"And given what I’ve said about moral economies, many people are really electrified by this idea of being able to understand money." 3/4

“One of the misconceptions is that in the medieval period—and this is a narrative I do not agree with—it was a Church dominated society, it was an agrarian society and the economy was static." [Thread 1/7]

"In the twelfth and thirteen century, we see what medievalists would refer to as a commercial revolution ... and the Church is put in a position in which they can no longer hold the line against usury, but they have to give in to the market." [2/7]

"So, we have a model where market and religion are in conflict, ... religion has to give way to the progressive of market society. And in fact, what is happening is really different." [3/7]
