Some interesting fundamentals here. But what does #Diageo do? Never heard of the company and that would have been good to mention in the article. I'm very particular about my vices :)
That's a good point. The suggestion loses a lot of steam when talking about businesses vs. individuals. Though I would think 99% of the cash handled by grocery stores are $20 bills or less anyway.
I don't support #Trump either. But I also don't support Hillary. I'm going a 3rd way and voting for #GaryJohnson.
@[Gary Anderson](user:4798), I agree a cashless society is a mistake... I don't need a digital record created every time I go to a strip club or adult theater. But seriously though, Rogoff is not advocating for a cashless society. He's suggesting a compromise. Why do poor people need $100 bills? Why can't they use $1, $5 and $10 bills like the rest of us folks? While not perfect, I think the suggestion does have merit. But no cash at all? Absolutely not.
It's an interesting thought. While I'm not a proponent for forcibly drafting citizenry, it would have numerous benefits in addition to the ones you've mentioned. For example, many of our youth could use a serious dose of discipline and direction. I also thing it would do much to bridge the growing gulf between the rich and poor, white and black etc. The armed forced can be a powerful melting pot.
