A semi-modern, semi-historical economical mini-play, in an experimental setout.
Cast: crisis, CB, consensus, printing machine, strange decisions
- We have federative governance and private money
- You need change
- No
- Yes, here is a crisis. Here is a bubble
- OOPS... we just went broke
- No worries, we will first print and then buy out everything
- For example, we can give you money if you give us stocks as collateral. We will fix down its price. Then you buy more stocks, and then you repeat that a few times. It's an amazing idea...
- What do you mean the system had just burst? Ok... not a problem. We have many other variants. The golden standard, trading surplus, the Maastricht treaty and plenty of other ideas. Trust us, keep buying.
- It looks kind of strange to us
- Nothing strange. As soon as you go bankrupt, we will buy everything. Just don't print money without us
- But didnt you say that's what we needed to do in the first place
- Oh... we were mistaken. Sorry. Now we have a crisis of our own. But we will help you. Just make your CB independent, so no one can interfere. Meanwhile we will make an economic bailout here.
- But you said we couldn't do that
- Oh... you know what... now it's ok
- So! Check this out! We are amazing! We bought all of your distressed assets and fixed your silly need for decentralization. Everything is great now. Don't worry. We will call it "free market". It sounds awesome, doesn't it?!
- Isn't that double standards?
- Stadrats-shmandarts. Boogy-woogy... Jeez... you are so intense. Such cry babies. Relax. Trust us. We will fix everything
