      Of course it wouldn’t be there, I’m not saying that the government spending money at all is bad.

      What is bad is the government spending too much money, so much that they introduce way too much money into the economy, making the rest worthless.

      Obviously it’s a combination of factors, but printing (and then introducing) a shitton of money will have very direct effects on the value of the currency.

        From David Greaber’s and Michael Hudson’s work, I think I have a better understanding than most.

        Whether or not you need a government to manage money is neither here nor there. The specific monies that the US & Argentina specifically have are sovereign fiat monies, which are controlled by their governments.
