Who else hopes the economy crashes?
Discussion
Certainly not me. Do you?
The economy? Why would I. The state and it's tentacles need to crash so the economy can prosper.
By prosper do you mean overprice everything so that only well established individuals can participate in the economy? Young people cannot afford homes, we can barely afford cars. Everything is overvalued. It will burst and be worse than 2008.
But... That's all not due to economic factors but due to etatist interventions in the "money" supply and the training of managers. Managers only know how to play the Game of the new modern money theory. hence why products get worse over time. There is no "vision" just economic trickery.
They need higher prices to maintain the buying power of their "money" and since they can raise their prices.. they do so. But without a state controlled money supply prices would not rise for the majority of goods.
Our problem is that we cannot scale our wages accordingly.
I once heard a quote like this "When someone tells you that the economy crashed, he is either an etatist or has no clue about economy".
Do you think banks would not engage in fractional reserve banking in the absence of a government?
They could. But there would be proper, better, honest and verifiable alternatives we could really choose from. Just because it is not regulated does not mean that there are no honest players. In fact under etatism the ones who are unhonest win.
Did you ever hear about a company that had to pay a higher fine than they incriminated through illegal activities?
But the ones that play according to the rules see the shit sued out of them just because they did not obey one small regulation.
I mean we see that even a state with gazillions of our money cannot prevent crimes like that. German state does not even secure the national borders, not to talk about the crisis in 2008. A financial sector that was regulated and watched very carefully by the state led us into this crisis. So what do we need the state for when it cannot protect us from this but does the exact opposite: Forces us to give our lifetime to pay for this crisis.
It's the state. Not the market. It's the state money. Not the economy that leads to the "misalignment".
Btw. I think the economy cannot "crash" the economy without the state would be the most dynamic entity to adapt to any economic or fiscal situation.
I hope the economy is born anew with the Bitcoin Standard in place embracing real capitalism, the free market, and laissez-faire.
I don’t see how that happens without the current economy showing its true colors: a bunch of illusory statements to justify wealth where there is no basis, by a bunch of meaningless paper fiat backed by the largest hegemony who supports it.
If your economic or political system is objectively good then it shouldn't require the existing system to collapse before it can come about. Every single time I have considered the collapse of the economy or society or government as a potentially good thing, it has always been just me coping with my own lack of ability to understand and engage with other people's perspectives.
You can test this yourself. Can you name an economic position that you believe is especially prominent and problematic?
