But what was the point of that move? Was it just a bit of fake haggling to stop the markets going into meltdown and ruin the party for everyone?
Or had someone made their money by then, so it didn't matter if prices started to climb back up again?
Quite.
The fact that they increased the price by 500% with such alacrity indicates there was a little slack in there..... "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
