Economics question: say the value of everything in the world is cut in half (prices, wages, savings, debt, everything). Is there any effect? -- nm - Danoslam Aug 10, 08:50 32
- Hypothetical questions are like lying to your brain. -- nm - Kenneth si Aug 10, 09:00 1

  - Something V - O - O economics... anyone? Anyone? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 10, 09:04
- More serious answer: If you're leaving money at the same face value, rampant inflation. If you're changing that too, I don't think anything. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 08:53 2
  - But what is the value of money if not just relative to what people are paid and what stuff costs? -- nm - Danoslam Aug 10, 08:58 1
    - [deleted]
- Yes - the speed of economic growth would slow by half, or more -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 08:53 15
  - Why, if costs were lower? -- nm - mara Aug 10, 08:53 14
    - interest rates would be lower -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 08:54 13
      - Why wouldn't that increase economic growth? -- nm - mara Aug 10, 08:55
      - er, why? -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 08:54 11
        
        because either they got cut in half like everything else, or else the amount of money collecting interest would be halved. - Beryllium Aug 10, 08:55 10
        
        [deleted]
        
        but that wouldn't change the rate. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 08:56 8
        
        Lower math is hard. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 08:57
        
        It must be measured over time. Halfing the amount would double the time. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 08:57 6
        
        it would be a discontinuity in the graph, but changing all the 2s to 1s does nothing to modify the transactions going on. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 08:58 5
        
        Okay, in graphing terms, say that the slope of a graph depicting month to month economic growth is "2". - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:01 4
        
        that's what I mean by a discontinuty. But what you're saying is trivial to the issue. - Reagen Aug 10, 09:05 3
        
        I think we should ask Max Keiser. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:11 2

- The fact that somebody actually had the power to do that, and did it, would have a greater effect than anything else. It would seem to be proof of the - mara Aug 10, 08:53 5
  - not really - countries do this all the time in severe economic conditions - Reagen Aug 10, 09:01 3
    - Yeah - but they're not in a vacuum. I assume doing that while other countries don't has ramifications. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 10, 09:02
    - "Everything in the world," though. -- nm - mara Aug 10, 09:02 1

    - [deleted]
  - It is excessive. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 10, 08:49 4
