What Tent Is - And What It Is Not

Keep this in mind, as folding can crease the items inside. It explains how the US dollar is the reserve currency: it is ultimately the strongest Schelling Point in the global economic system such that even if people in other countries do not accept their own currency, they will accept dollars. Thus the value of money arises from its status as a Schelling Point for making deferred payments. But this trade will usually happen in the future, so it is a deferred payment. This will send the file to the default printer. It is right, but largely meaningless to say that the Fed cannot default. 1) Money printed by the fed is ultimately a promise that the Fed will pay you when requested. It’s the digital equivalent of buying a printed exercise book with spaces for you to write and draw things - it’s a bit like a coloring book. The disadvantages mean that solid-fuel rockets are useful for short-lifetime tasks (like missiles), or for booster systems. Some swaps use a democratic approach where all the items are considered of equal value, like in a book exchange. It explains why alternative currencies like Bitcoin can work even without any state backing, simply because they are potentially standalone Schelling Points.


These are uniformly forms of credit. All ‘money’, even the ‘best money’, is credit. It is when this belief is lost that we see events like hyperinflation occuring, which is precisely this loss of trust in the value of the ‘best money’ in the system. Many will now feel like that's a distant dream. It is true they cannot - they will always be able to produce the x pieces of paper and give them to you. This belief is the real creditworthiness of the fed, not whether they can actually produce physical pieces of paper (which we assume they always can). The result is that pressures escape through rising prices (i.e. very low conversions of currency into real goods). Note, that money is used to get goods now for goods later. This is the crucial differentiator from the normal conception of debt which is bilateral - i.e. you pay someone now in return for more money from the same person later. It allows you to obtain goods from any person in the economy, in return for the credit. They do it because they expect to be able to use that money to buy real goods and services for themselves later.


Only when they believe they can also get equal value of real goods or services from anybody else in society for the bit of paper you have just given them. Here we have that the state’s money is so risky that nobody would willingly hold it, yet they are forced to by law. If people are legally obliged to accept a currency (legal tender laws), then if the currency is reasonably intact and usable then it will probably take precedence, since the alternative would be risking the wrath of the government for no reason. If the price is regulated as well, the market mechanism breaks down and you get shortages and a black market which effectively replaces the government official currency with some other currency. Weigh down the plastic with gallon jugs or anchor it with garden stakes. What's more, such blank or plain canvas tote bags are much cheaper than the pre-designed ones, so you can tailor it according to your choice and ultimately take pride in your creativity. To minimize noise from fans, choose Quiet Fans, which are available from almost any fan manufacturer. These are it’s intrinsic scarcity, durability, moldability, aesthetic components etc, and difficulty to counterfeit.


The Lands End Panniers are much looser than other bags in this roundup so unless it’s full, it tends to sag. Built out of solid acrylic and reinforced with resin and fiberglass, it’s relatively easy to install and creates clean, contemporary lines in any bathroom. In general how this Schelling Point theory of money interacts with changing the money supply and monetary policy in general is still an open question, and something I have to work out in more detail. The Schelling Point of gold, or precious metals, is enhanced by the general and extremely strong cultural instinct to view precious metals as ‘real money’. These have some force as a general Schelling Point. Both of these theories are not theories of money, they are theories of one potential Schelling Point for money. They are promises to pay "later" in return for something now. Now importantly cash money is this as well. When you pay for something with money, they give you something now. You care about what people who are not the Fed will give you for these pieces of paper. Huge canals and dikes are a primary feature of which country?
