Book club coming up! To prepare, I am re-reading nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqhykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fswlqz4x (nprofile…qz4x) 's "The Lost Cause" looking for characteristics of the economy of the world in which the novel is set. So far I spotted:
* Modern Monetary Theory
* Job Guarantee
* Anti-monopoly policy (several large companies have been broken up: "Baby Ikeas" etc.)
* Crypto-friendly theories of money (refuted, but with some empathy).
What am I missing?
Everyone welcome! Info and link: https://lu.ma/8ldrqsgk
