Deficits Equal Wealth?
Steve Keen
Steve Keen (born 28 March 1953) is an Australian-born, British-based economist and author. He considers himself a post-Keynesian, criticising neoclassical economics as inconsistent, unscientific and empirically unsupported. The major influences on Keen's thinking about economics include John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Hyman Minsky, Piero Sraffa, Augusto Graziani, Joseph Alois Schumpeter, Thorstein Veblen, and François Quesnay.

  2. Does it create reserves?

    The gov wants to pay $1000. It creates a bond of $1000.

    It sells it to the banks for $1000 who do pay it with a $1000 central bank loan. The reserves are on the govs central bank account.

    The govs spends those $1000 reserves and the banks gets those reserves. They increase their customers bank account by $1000 of their own money they create.

    Then they use those $1000 reserves to pay back their loan from the central bank to avoid interest payments.

    The reserves are gone now. What is left, is the gov bond and $1000 in the customers bank accounts.

    This is how I would expect, what would happen.
