L. Randall Wray Zitate

L. Randall Wray ist ein US-amerikanischer Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Professor an der University of Missouri–Kansas City. Er hat sich eingehend mit den Theorien Hyman P. Minskys auseinandergesetzt und ist leitender wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Center for Full Employment and Price Stability .Wray kritisierte die populäre These von Carmen Reinhart und Kenneth Rogoff aus ihrem Buch Dieses Mal ist alles anders, wenn die Staatsverschuldung 90 % des BIP erreiche, dann sinke das Wirtschaftswachstum. Wray dagegen meint, Reinhart und Rogoff hätten nicht mehr als eine Korrelation zwischen niedrigem Wachstum und hohen Schulden gezeigt, nicht aber, dass niedriges Wachstum aus hohen Schulden resultiere. Vor allem aber müsse man unterscheiden zwischen Ländern, die sich in eigener Währung verschulden und solchen, die sich in fremder Währung verschulden . Letztere Länder könnten insolvent werden. Dies gelte nicht im selben Maße für Länder wie die USA, die ihre Währung nachdrucken können.Gemeinsam mit Jan Kregel ist er Herausgeber des Journal of Post Keynesian Economics. Wikipedia

L. Randall Wray: Zitate auf Englisch

“The true order of events shows that orthodoxy clearly has reversed the process through which investment is funded. Banks do not begin as intermediaries which accept deposits of 'savers' and then make loans to 'investors', for this would assume that the public has already developed the 'banking habit'. This habit is the end result of public experience with short term bank liabilities which have been created as banks extend short term credit to finance working capital expenses.”

“It has long been speculated that money predates writing because the earliest examples of writing appear to be records of monetary debts—meaning that the closely intertwined chronology of the development of writing and money will make it impossible to find a written history.”

L. Randall Wray, The Credit Money, State Money, and Endogenous Money Approaches: A Survey and Attempted Integration. (2005)

“A sovereign government's budget is not like the budget of a household or firm. Governments issue the currency, whereas households and firms use the currency. As the chartalist, or modern money approach, explains, modern governments actually spend by crediting bank accounts. It really just amounts to a keystroke, pushing a key on a computer that generates an entry on someone’s balance sheet. Government can never run out of these keystrokes.”

L. Randall Wray (2015), Why Minsky Matters: An Introduction to the Work of a Maverick Economist. p. 66

“Money as a medium of exchange becomes important when workers are paid in medium of exchange rather than in wage goods directly. Since wage goods constitute the majority of goods produced (particularly in the early stages of development), it is tempting (but misleading) to focus on exchanges and on money as a medium of exchange [like the neo-classicals]. Once capitalist production dominates the economy, money becomes universally important: money operates as a medium of exchange and money hoards provide a measure of security. However, production involves goods and services now in exchange for a promise to pay in the future. That is, money is involved in the production process because production is time-based and involves debt commitments. If one only focuses on the use of money in exchange or as a store of value, one ignores how money creation is inextricably related to time-based production in private property economies.”
