Here is my latest blog post on the "sovereign money" initiative that the Swiss will vote on June 10. The initiative is mistaken in seeing deposit-loan creation by banks as the source of all crises. - Enjoy.

Mon dernier billet de blog souligne que l'initiative "monnaie pleine" sur laquelle les Suisses voteront le 10 juin fait fausse route en présentant la création monétaire par les banques comme la source de tous les maux financiers. - Bonne lecture.
