The Solution Begins With Glass Steagall
If Positive Money is not the answer, what can we do? The solution is actually not that hard.
We must begin with full Glass Steagall style banking separation now, today. Not this ring fencing nonsense being pushed by Mervyn King and George Osborne.
The Problem With Positive Money
Positive Money bills itself as “a simple solution to the debt crisis”. With a cursory glance, it might appear to be making some of the right noises. On closer inspection, however, there’s just nothing there.

Well, isn't it?
