Thank you for a well-reasoned, well-informed exposition.
I do have something to contribute to a better future — a ‘tweak’ to the economic system (specifically, the monetary system) that would eliminate unemployment, poverty, taxes, and public debt while helping with sustainability on the macro scale. I understand that hearing about such an idea from its author somehow brings into question its credibility. That brings us to, “What can you do now?” Other people talking about it — not necessarily endorsing it, just talking about it — is all this idea needs.
