Traditionalist Economics: Sovereign Creation of the Money Supply
In the first of a projected irregular series on Traditionalist Economics, I draw from the writings of John Lane, Pius XI and other Catholic economic thinkers to consider the first question of political economy: who is responsible for the money supply?I consider: the fundamental causes of inflation; the sovereignty of money creation; fractional reserve banking; the gold standard; the nature of our current usury money versus Medieval economic stability and leisure, before proposing some initial Catholic solutions to these essential problems.With particular thanks to John Lane for his insights.To support my research and channel, and to access premium content please consider joining my Locals (the Beletage):https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.com

"Quid est Veritas?": On Dante’s Inferno and the Media Dialectic | Fourth Eclogue & Will Tucker
Will Tucker and Augustine (Fourth Eclogue Substack - https://goodvirgil.substack.com/) join the Two Cities podcast to discuss his satirical essay on the cacophonous contemporary media landscape.https://substack.com/home/post/p-158779067We consider: how many media figures function as Synagogue discourse gatekeepers; the debasement of public discourse; the Trump "assassination attempt"; counterfeit Satanism; the phenomena of cheap alarmism and "pornography of indignation". Whilst Augustine argues that we are saturated in mutually reinforcing layers of the liberal media spectacle, Mr Tucker analyses the Judaic meta-dialectics of the media spectacle.Mr Tucker's substack: https://analogia.substack.com/The Analogia Entis channel: https://www.youtube.com/@analogiaentisTo support my research and channel, and to access regular premium content please consider joining my Locals (the Beletage):https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.com
"Two loves have built two cities: the love of self even to the despising of God, the city of the earth; the love of God even to the despising of self, the city of God." Following St. Augustine's City of God, this podcast views history and contemporary events in light of the deepest meaning of history: the ongoing war between the City of God (the Catholic Church) and the Earthly City until Christ comes again.
