About the Book

Money Flow in a Dynamic Economy

 

How to Stop Inflation

Without Causing a Recession

(  Get consumers to save, spend less )

Positive solutions for our distorted money flow where middle-class workers are unable to buy back the value of the goods and services they produce, resulting in exploding private and public debt.

Money Flow in a Dynamic Economy delivers a powerful new perspective on the intersection of economics and politics. The book introduces professor Marsh’s money flow paradigm, which refutes age-old misconceptions about economic theory and explains how this more accurate understanding of the factors at play can help us effectively address the critical issues we face .

Readers will learn about Marsh’s keystone proposal for a new policy tool for the Federal Reserve Bank that would be much more effective in controlling inflation when the economy overheats, and in stimulating the economy in the face of an economic downturn without raising taxes or adding to the national debt: “My America” personal accounts for every person with a Social Security number that would allow the Fed to offer high savings account interest rates to discourage spending and encourage saving when excessive inflation threatens and the economy overheats.

Alternatively, when the economy falters and begins sliding into a recession, the Fed could offer small loans to individuals and small businesses at low interest rates. Providing funds directly to consumers who are most likely to spend it in periods of high unemployment will be much more effective and less expensive than the traditional “pushing on a string” policy of the Fed buying US Treasury securities in New York financial markets and hoping that some of that money would eventually trickle down to consumers to stimulate the economy.

This book delivers a fresh view of the interconnectedness of the globe and an updated understanding of the underlying economic forces that shape our lives today. Readers from business travelers to university students will rethink their basic assumptions about the nature of economics and the role of government.

  • Should Trump sell the Post Office (USPS)?
    by Lawrence on February 1, 2025 at 6:46 pm

    The Trump administration is planning to sell the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). From the Trump point of view, it is just another government bureaucracy running in the red with little chance of achieving a profit for taxpayers. With FedEx, United Parcel Service (UPS) and Amazon delivery service, who needs the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) anyway?

  • We are recreating the “free market” conditions for The Great Depression!
    by Lawrence on January 1, 2025 at 2:59 pm

    Could half of America’s banks suddenly go bankrupt and unemployment reach 25 percent of our labor force? If you are focused solely on the federal government’s deficit spending, you are missing a much bigger threat to our economy. It is our private banking system and how we are gradually and systematically removing the regulations that

  • Are we over-rewarding stockholders at the expense of creative entrepreneurs and hard working employees?

    John Locke’s (1632-1704) original idea was that you earn the right of property ownership through what today would be called “sweat equity.” Taking property or materials from the natural world and imbuing your labor into them established your property ownership. Capital ownership was earned through sweat equity.      However, the link between sweat equity and capital ownership broke down
