I started this blog in June 2007 asking these questions: Are we in a massive asset bubble that will blow up in our faces ??? - ANSWERED YES ! Is western and particularly British society on the verge of social collapse??? What are the best common sense long term investment strategies to keep you rich? When will consumption/debt bubble economics end and a real savings/production economy begin ???

Is there a way to monetise national debts without inflation ?

Could forcing banks onto 100% reserve requirements (thus ending the fractional reserve system) allow governments to print money to pay off debt while locking the resulting inflation up in bank reserves ?

With no national debt interest to pay could governments massively cut taxes without cutting spending ?

Could state banks (that have a guaranteed deposit flow from government activities) use profits from low interest loans to the public to pay for government services and infrastructure to replace some or all taxes ?

In the UK public money that was chasing fraudulent interest rates was lost when these private banks went bankrupt:

Regional UK local government banks making profitable low interest loans would be much preferable to the current system (established in 1998) of 'regional development agencies' doling tax payer money out to all sorts of questionable loss making activities:
