Fascinating...


Perhaps, but it's largely nonsensical and in some instances, just
innacurate.
Posner apparently doesn't understand what constitutes a "demand deposit"

He's right about one thing, at least. What we are seeing in the worlds of
finance and economics coldn't have happened without the active and passive
assistance of government.
