By golly, you’re a genius… What the U.S. government needs to do is invent a time based currency… It starts to exponentially decay the moment it leaves the banks and ends up in the hands of people. If you don’t use it, it starts to decay…Don’t use it for a few days…it turns into ashes…..That’s how our government can stimulate growth here in the U.S.A….Forcing people to spend their dollars the moment they get them…[/quote]
You think this sounds silly, but Charles Eisenstein has proposed that currency decay. But at a significantly longer half life than you laughed at. Currency that decays with a half life of about 20 years really fixes a lot of problems. It is described very clearly in chapter 12 of his book.
