“It is the people who constitute the basis of Government credit. Why then cannot the people have benefit of their own gilt-edge credit by receiving non-interest bearing currency-instead of bankers receiving the benefit of the people's credit in interest-bearing bonds. If the United States Government will adopt this policy of increasing its national wealth without contributing to the interest collector-for the whole national debt is made up on interest charges-then you will see an era of progress and prosperity in this country such as could never have come otherwise.” PeopleIfsMadeCountryStatesWholeGovernmentInterestWealthUnitedUnited StatesProgressPolicyBenefitsBasesEdgesProsperityCreditDebtErasReceivingCurrencyBankersCollectorsContributingState GovernmentNational DebtUnited States Government Author:Thomas A.

“Requiring the payment of higher wages will lead to a loss of some jobs and a raising of prices which drives companies to search for automation to reduce costs. On the other hand, those receiving higher wages will spend more (the marginal propensity to consume is close to 1 for low income earners) and this will increase demand for additional goods and services.
