"Toutes les grandes personnes ont d'abord été des enfants. (Mais peu d'entre elles s'en souviennent.)" [All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.] Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Le Petit Prince." An impromptu game of "who can name the largest number?" is an example I often point to as a way in which young children teach each other about non-trivial mathematical ideas and facts, such as infinity and the concept of proof by contradiction (embodied in this case by one child eventually realizing that they can defeat any other child's guess by adding "plus one" to that gues…

From Nicolas Dufrene's @nico_dufrene answer to Quentin @QuentinVandewe2 and me in Le Monde: "Et qui paie ? Seulement la banque centrale qui rémunère les réserves bancaires. Et encore, si l’on veut éviter de prolonger cette rémunération – la seule objection technique qui subsiste une fois les autres écartées –, une solution existe : la banque centrale peut simplement cesser de les rémunérer et augmenter les réserves obligatoires. Blanchard et Vandeweyer le reconnaissent, mais qualifient cela de « répression financière ». Qu’on en juge : les banques perdraient alors une rémunération injustifiée… English, from French And who pays? Only the central bank, which remunerates bank reserves. And even then, if we want to avoid prolonging this remuneration – the only technical objection that remains once the others are dismissed – a solution exists: the central bank can simply stop remunerating them and increase mandatory reserves. Blanchard and Vandeweyer acknowledge this, but call it "financial repression." Make of that what you will: banks would then lose an unjustified remuneration…

Heureux de vous accueillir à Paris, Président Tô Lâm. Plus que des mots, nous avons donné du concret à notre partenariat stratégique global grâce à de nombreux accords signés aujourd'hui. C'est l'intensité de notre relation historique mais aussi l'accélération de ce lien qui rend l'amitié et l'estime de la France à l'égard du Vietnam plus vive encore. Nous souhaitons faire encore davantage ensemble. English, from French Happy to welcome you to Paris, President Tô Lâm. More than words, we have given substance to our global strategic partnership thanks to numerous agreements signed today. It is the intensity of our historic relationship but also the acceleration of this link that makes France's friendship and esteem for Vietnam even more vivid. We wish to do even more together.

Quelle eloquence ! Quelle incomprehension de l'economie ! (ou peut-etre quel cynisme? Comment distinguer entre les deux?) Je me permets de reproduire le debut mon article du Monde, avec Quentin Vandeweyer, sur l'annulation de la dette detenue par la banque centrale. Le point de base est simple: Au mieux, ca ne sert a rien. Les details sont plus compliques, mais ne changent pas la conclusion, ou la rendent pire. Une mesure a eviter a tout prix. " Pierre et Paul possèdent ensemble une entreprise. Vous êtes le banquier de celle-ci et vous lui avez prêté de l’argent. Vous apprenez un matin que Pi… English, from French What eloquence! What a misunderstanding of economics! (or perhaps what cynicism? How to distinguish between the two?) I take the liberty of reproducing the beginning of my article in Le Monde, with Quentin Vandeweyer, on the cancellation of debt held by the central bank. The basic point is simple: At best, it's useless. The details are more complicated, but they don't change the conclusion, or they make it worse. A measure to be avoided at all costs. "Pierre and Paul together own a company. You are its banker and you have lent it money. You learn one morning that Pi...

Quoting @JLMelenchon La Banque centrale européenne possède une quantité énorme de dette de l'État français. Je propose à tous les États de la zone euro d'annuler cette dette détenue par la BCE. Nous sommes tous membres du système euro, c'est donc une dette que nous nous devons à nous-mêmes. L'officialité médiatique a t… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
Got it
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
