minus-square@SwingingKoala@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink0•1 year ago There wouldn’t be any money for taxpayers to pay if the government hadn’t first printed it and spent it Money naturally emerges in all civilizations, you don’t need a government to centrally manage it.

minus-squaredavel [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-21 year agoFrom David Greaber’s and Michael Hudson’s work, I think I have a better understanding than most.

The specific monies that the US & Argentina specifically have are sovereign fiat monies, which are controlled by their governments.
