Key Notes
model
Banks do not merely store money; in Jiang’s model they create money/liquidity, making money a collective hallucination rather than a fixed object.
definition
Interest rates are not primarily consumer guidance in Jiang’s model; they coordinate whether banks should release or withhold liquidity.
definition
Exchange rates function internationally like interest rates domestically: they signal where nations should trade and where liquidity should move.
