The Value of Money
March 29, 2009 by Caro · 6 Comments
In March, 2009, co-host of CNBC’s The Call, Larry Kudlow, lit a U.S. dollar note, destroying part of it. He claimed that the burning dollar represented the value of our money.
Kudlow was introducing a segment on the U. S. Government’s new Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility and he said that the program – aimed at energizing the asset-backed securities market that subsidizes loans to consumers and businesses – would result in “a lot of people lighting flame to the U.S. dollar which is going down in flames.” http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/19/kudlow-burns-money
Did he really believe that the burning note was in fact, burning money?
Modern money is not really a thing at all; it’s just an agreement made between us all, that makes it real.
