Six more zeros are to be removed from Venezuelan currency
According to modern monetary theory, money is just a means for the government to incentivize behavior.<p>The government prints as much of it as it wants, and:<p>1: Gives it to people who need it (Say to pay rent for their shop so the shop does not go out of business).<p>2: Takes it from rich people who otherwise would just sit on their ass and let others work for them.<p>Why does this system of subventions and taxes not work in Venezuela? Why is inflation a problem when money is just a number. Why does it matter how many zeros a price has?
