Haven't built an entire economy around selling each other lots of stuff? Isn't an economy defined by exchanging goods and services? It is like saying we built an entire economy around buying and selling oil.

Interesting that some people think this could be a model for a sound economy. (Anon 7:18?)

I guess we'll find out in the next few quarters just how sound a model it is and whether we'd like to stick with it or not in the US.

Something that Anon 7:18 may want to take a look at is how it's working in the places in the US where it's beginning to break down.
