Why I prefer perpetual/premium bonds to the platinum coin — JP Koning

 To my mind, issuing consols as JP Koning suggests is the simple solution and to be preferred over the coin, which has no precedent and appears gimmicky.

In a mirror image of what the United States has been doing with semiconductor lithography technology, China has recently amended its rules to ban the export of several core solar panel technologies in order to maintain its leading status and global market share in the sector. A solar panel on a rooftop may include a hundred pieces of silicon and China has the lead now in machinery to manufacture those.
