Tsja, tis teen of tander: besparen of meer belasten. Tenzij de regering het groot lot wint gaat dat geld van ergens moeten komen.

Anno 2015 ging het van de ene hype naar de andere, men noemde zichzelf ervaringsdeskundigen maar wilden er liever toch maar niet aan herinnerd worden. De alternatieven waren immers te schokkend voor het intellect, over de avonturen van 'teen en tander' is het laatste nog niet gezegd natuurlijk.
Citaat:
At the height of the Great Depression a number of leading U.S. economists advanced a proposal for monetary reform that became known as the Chicago Plan. It envisaged the separation of the monetary and credit functions of the banking system, by requiring 100% reserve backing for deposits. Irving Fisher (1936) claimed the following advantages for this plan:
(1) Much better control of a major source of business cycle fluctuations
(2) Complete elimination of bank runs
(3) Dramatic reduction of the (net) public debt
(4) Dramatic reduction of private debt
We study these claims by embedding a comprehensive and carefully calibrated model of the banking system in a DSGE model of the U.S. economy. We find support for all four of Fisher's claims. Furthermore, output gains approach 10 percent, and steady state inflation can drop to zero without posing problems for the conduct of monetary policy.
