      "trickle down" economics may actually be a misinterpretation of the actual effect if an economic system is "leaking" and trickling down, it is actually a broken system. like a hydraulic system, the purpose is to maintain pressurehttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1396119153723904003 …

      my model of modern monetary theory: money exists in a closed loop, like a hydraulics system or the coolant in a refrigerator the only reason the total amount should grow is if the system is getting bigger, thus needing more coolant

      money has no intrinsic value, it's the movement that allows information and promises to chain and create real world "alchemical" transformation. i can turn my typing-at-a-computer into a pizza made from ingredients all over the world.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1393217133492924419 …

      money is a promise chain that allows alchemical transformation of services it transmits force and allows something like typing at a computer to magically turn into pizza (w ingredients sourced globally)

      a "company" in a country/state basically is an entity that creates its own (semi) closed loop system "trickle-down" wealth isn't actually excess resources being drained from the system but being PART of the systemhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1396119167439306755?s=20 …

      take ur job. the ingress is how the company makes money. you use that money buying avocados and toast at local markets. some big exit streams are taxes. maybe you buy a vanguard index fund. not that difficult to model. u r but a caricature from the system's view

      e.g. if u were working at a large company like apple, the company would be the blue whale and u'd be a barnacle or some sort of symbiotic teeth cleaning fish you don't "eat" the whale to become bigger. you play a niche role within a larger ecological system

      the whale on the other hand does EAT from the larger ecosystem and becomes bigger. its wealth "grows" and can support more barnacles and stuff the bigger it gets the more employees it can support but there is no "trickle" down b/c its emphasis is on its own growth.

      once the symbiotic relationship turns parasitic, the additional elements are ejected because they no longer serve the ecosystemhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1384562982844129285 …

       🐈 added,

       🐈 @a_yawning_cat
      similar thought, once employees start drawing from the capital instead of excess of dividends, they become parasitic from the pov of the capital https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1354508913039745025?s=20 …

      so the way that big wealth creates wealth for the little guy isn't that so much abundance is created that it bursts from the ground like a geyser providing free excess for everyone but that as it grows it forcibly integrate everyone into the ecosystem for better or for worse

      interesting result of this line of though is that capitalism works best in environments where the population wants to BELONG to sth its success in the US may be bc despite the appearance of snowflake specialness and rugged individualism, americans r easily ASSIMILATED

          e.g. the stereotypical one who makes their career their whole life. or dedicates their life to some moral mission these r ways of eliminating the individual. not emphasizing it

          contrast to china where even though the culture is homogeneous everyone is mostly selfishly out for themselves trying to build their personal capital and move it out of the country if they r rich enough to do so

          so their mutual hate is shadow projection. one sees the the other as mindless brainwashed slaves to the state, and vice versa is seen as mindless brainwashed slave to the self
