What should I do if the government runs out of money?
The East and the West have completely different practices.
The West is accustomed to borrowing money. When they have no money, they go to those rich people to borrow. Of course, if they borrow, they will repay it, and a certain amount of interest will be paid at the same time. In this way, the government can not only be maintained, but also the economy can benefit from the existence of the loan relationship.
The powerful wealthy people support the government to avoid losing their money, forming a good cycle.
It is for this reason that although some Western economic giants do not get involved in politics, they never lack spokespersons in the political world, and their influence is everywhere.
For example, Old Renault is such a person.
In the East, it is more straightforward. When the government runs out of money, it raises taxes, or finds a fat pig with a bad reputation and slaughters it. This can not only maintain government rule, but also kill chickens and scare monkeys to quell public anger and divert social conflicts. It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.
There is a huge difference between these two approaches. Basically, it is the difference between fishing in a dry lake and a steady flow of water. It is clear which one is better and which is worse.
Gaspard's intention was very obvious, he wanted his employer Qin Zhiyuan to be like old Renault.
But Gaspard ignored one issue, and that was the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Thunder City.
Strictly speaking, Thunder City is also an asset in the hands of Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan uses money to subsidize Thunder City, which is equivalent to using high-quality assets in his hands to subsidize low-quality assets.
This is fundamentally different from the relationship between the old Renault and the Paris city government.
Gaspard obviously has his own opinions on this issue.
No, no, absolutely not. Even if the general is the king of Corsica, the general should not use his own money to subsidize government operations. That will breed inertia in the government and make them lose their enterprising spirit. In the future, they will develop a person who will come whenever there is a problem.
The habit of looking for solutions to generals instead of stimulating one's own potential to solve problems is definitely not a good choice. Gaspard shook his head like a divination drum, his attitude was firm, and there was no room for change.
There is no essential difference. Whether it is the securities in your hands or the lll company here, it is essentially Mr. Qin’s money. At present, it seems that Thunder City and Trident City need certain financial subsidies, but in the long run
Look, Thunder City and Trident City will have their own hematopoietic mechanisms in the future, and the profits generated by then will also belong to Master Qin. What does this matter? Huang Fugui pretended to want to argue to the end.
It seems that Huang Fugui is also making continuous progress. Otherwise, Huang Fugui would not be able to understand the meaning of the terms financial subsidies and hematopoietic mechanisms, let alone be able to use them skillfully.
This is also easy to understand. No matter how these subordinates are, Qin Zhiyuan is always making great strides. If they can keep up with Qin Zhiyuan's footsteps, Huang Fugui and the others will always be Qin Zhiyuan's confidants. Once they slack off, they will lie down
Those who rest on their laurels will definitely be replaced by those who are prepared and dedicated. Countless Huang Fugui and Gaspard are waiting for the opportunity.
You didn’t understand what I meant. I’m not saying no, but I’m saying you can’t provide help without principles. Looking at Thunder City and Trident City objectively, they are both in the process of development. As a decision-maker, or as a person,
Rulers, what we have to do is not to forcibly interfere with the development of Thunder City and Trident City, but to provide the necessary environment and policy support to allow them to complete this transformation process on their own. Gaspard also has considerable experience in social operations.
.
So if we give financial subsidies, I think it is policy support. Huang Fugui refused to give in.
Ever since Gaspard joined Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Fugui had a clear sense of crisis.
Before, Qin Zhiyuan's subordinates were a group of warriors who only knew how to carry guns and fight. Huang Fugui was a rare scholar. Although his status was not as important as Chen Kangjian and others, he was still an indispensable figure. The arrival of Gaspard gave Huang Fugui
Fugui has sounded the alarm. If you can't make further progress, you will be eliminated sooner or later.
Huang Fugui doesn't want to be eliminated.
Huang Fugui had a feeling that as long as he followed Qin Zhiyuan closely, his life might reach a height that he could not even dream of.
Yes, it is indeed possible to subsidize, but this subsidy must be limited in time and scale. Even if Thunder City and Trident City have their own hematopoietic mechanisms in the future, the general should not ask for unlimited amounts. In short, in
In a mature social system, rulers should not interfere too much in social operations, but should protect the normal development of society. Gaspard spoke eloquently.
What Gaspard is talking about is the economic operation method that has been proven to be effective in the past century, which is the so-called free economy. The free economy is similar to the inaction in the thought of Lao and Zhuang in ancient China, advocating that the economy should be free from market
Regulation and free balance are the core ideas.
Although free economics has proven to be effective, it is an economic thought born in the era of Queen Victoria. It is no longer appropriate to continue to regard it as a classic.
If we follow the original laws of historical development, after the World War, there will be a five-year Great Depression starting in the 1930s, and state capitalism will emerge at that time.
Qin Zhiyuan's current large-scale construction of Corsica is actually using the power of state capitalism. This has certain similarities with Keynesian economics that will be born more than ten years later, but it is not exactly the same.
Huang Fugui has now learned some superficial knowledge in economics, which is not comparable to Gaspard. But in front of Qin Zhiyuan, Gaspard's economic ideas seem to lag behind.
Regarding this issue, there is no need to discuss too much. One thing must be made clear. In Thunder City and Trident City, the municipal government cannot let the economy run its course. Key enterprises and industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood must be under the control of the municipal government.
, The private economy can be an effective supplement to the social economy, but it can never occupy a dominant position in the market economy. Qin Zhiyuan has experience.
Regardless of whether it is state capitalism or free capitalism, the fundamental purpose is to promote social and economic development. State capitalism may perform better than self-owned capitalism, but it has not yet reached a breakthrough level.
When Keynes' theory was first born, it was regarded as the bible by economists from all over the world. The macroeconomics he founded, along with the psychoanalysis created by Freud and the theory of relativity discovered by Einstein, are collectively known as the human intellectual community in the twentieth century.
of the three great revolutions.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Keynesian theory indeed guided the golden period of economic development in Western society, but his inflationary methods also caused large-scale inflation in the 1970s.
Qin Zhiyuan's ideal economic model is a market economy model under the guidance of the state, which is somewhat similar to China after reform.
This model may have slowed economic growth at the beginning because the government's burden was too heavy, but as time goes by, the advantages of this model will become more and more obvious, and compared with the advantages of the Western economic system dominated by the private economy
will get bigger and bigger.
In fact, before Qin Zhiyuan's accident in another time and space, China's advantages of concentrating its efforts on big things had been fully demonstrated, and its coordination and utilization of social resources were unmatched by Western governments.
