Money lies at the core of most of the problems in this world and I have also found it to be one of the most interesting topics to discuss. To write a comment on it myself would most likely be the start of a book. I'll keep it simple and just refer to the people on the forefront with their different theories.
First there is the gold standard advocates which include people like Mike Maloney and G Edward Griffin:
There are many more in agreement with the above to name a few:
On the other side we have the money policy advocates. A group of people who believe that the wrong policies are what brings about abundant and dire times. I have not seen a lot of them making videos on the subject but I have come across a few who have tried to explain it in simple terms. Bill Still explain his position in The Money Masters. In my view the petro dollar will fit into this system but it gets complicated.
These two ideas are fairly different from each other and attract a lot of debate but one obvious similarity is the fact that at the head of this beast there is a puppet master pulling the strings.
For me it is not a matter of consensus among the slave population to correctly define words or the workings of systems but the understanding that there is a slave master driving you into the ground and stealing your wealth.
RE: MODERN MONETARY THEORY - can anyone explain major differences between MMT and current monetary system?
