Professor Barth, I've been watching your lessons on the history of money and monetary theory for months now. It is by FAR the best and most comprehensive analysis of the concept of money that I've found on KZfaq and I have a request. After watching your videos, I noticed that despite covering so much information there wasn't anything in your channel covering your understanding of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) nor your thoughts on it. In your history of money lessons, you touched on the concept of the government / state being the source of money's creation, but I'd really appreciate a lesson (even if it is short) on MMT, especially its role after Nixon took us off the gold standard. Thanks for all the knowledge and your willingness to share it with people! Without people like you, I'd never have understood the Federal Reserve System.

Joshua, thank you for the kind words, and thank you for that recommendation. Truth be told, I've been meaning to do a short video on MMT for a while now, but never got around to it. I will definitely do so.

Yes, excellent series, Professor. Hoping you're able to do a section on Algernon Sidney also. (I've also studied Henry George, who was strongly influenced by Locke, and insisted that no tax should fall on wages, essentially standing for the idea of a property right in wages, and that all taxes should instead fall only unearned incomes). Thanks.

Thank you, and yes sir, I'll do a single video on Algernon Sidney after we conclude Locke. I've never read Henry George, I've only read about him in various secondary sources. I know he was massively influential in the late-19th century.

@@ProfessorBarth Great to hear that. Regarding George, through independent research of his weekly newspaper, The Standard (1887-1892), which were usually unreadable, I discovered that he launched a national income-tax-based campaign in 1888, which eventually led to the Supreme Court striking down a tax on land gain sales and rental income in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan (1895), which led to the need for the 16th Amendment, without which, to this day, we'd be unable to tax unearned incomes. Remarkably, only wages would be taxable as income. The problem is that there's still great resistance from current Georgist leaders to accept the national campaign, which should've resumed the day after the 16th Amendment was ratified. Instead, they're sticking to a local land-only property tax version of George's "single tax," which is guaranteed to keep George irrelevant on the national and international level.

31:50 the masses read Trenchard and Gordon (Cato's Letters). Hope you could do a section on them also.
@ProfessorBarth3 ай бұрын
This is true, in part because they were widely reprinted in newspapers. Oh man, Cato's Letters is gold. You're right -- maybe a single video would work, like I plan to do with Sidney.
