Why is the eurozone struggling while politicians keep insisting that cutting spending will fix everything? Steve explains why the euro is the worst monetary system on the planet, and why the real issue may not be government spending at all. He breaks down what happens when government bonds are sold to : The central bank, Private banks AND The non-bank private sector The difference in outcomes is huge. 😬 One system supports money creation and growth. Another cancels it, leaves GDP unchanged, and sends government debt soaring. If you have ever wondered why austerity keeps failing, this one is for you. Drop your thoughts below once you have watched. Do you think the eurozone can survive its current fiscal rules? 👇

Steve. If the central bank buys the bonds, GDP is lower after 50 years than if the banking sector buys the bonds. If GDP is higher, does that, by definition, mean more money was created? I assume yes? Would more money created translate to higher asset prices and a higher cost of living? With central bank borrowing, would asset and cost-of-living prices be lower? Would productivity growth differ between the two scenarios? I take productivity growth to be the real determinant of increased standard of living; is this correct? Thanks

I am British now living in Australia. During my lifetime I saw property increase again and again and wanted to know why. Steves work answered that!
