  • What you’ve described definitely doesn’t sound regular. Interest rates don’t exist, printing more and mormoney to pay for stuff doesn’t cause inflation etcc.

    Spending before income, sure. But this plant isn’t actually making an income since it has to fight against Chinese, American manufacturing and they can out-subsidise their manufacturing so much so that your domestic manufacturing isn’t competitive anymore. That’s the whole issue.

    Now as it stands, the government takes a loan they have to pay interest on to subsidise manufacturing and they’re hoping to get the money back (unless they want to keep taking loans) through taxes. You’ll just lose out money without any tangible benefit. You could use that money to pay for roads at least!



  • Your proposed economy is pretty bonkers. Government pays for subsidies and wages, then hopes to make back it all with taxes on those same wages. And all this to prop up a manufacturing industry fighting a subsidy war agains the likes of China and USA. The small country in question is going to go bankrupt

    Not to mention, in this scenario the country isn’t taking loans since those don’t exist but is just printing money? I didn’t really understand that part. How is it all funded initially, until this circular perpetual motion machine takes over?









  • You think a country who is taking more and more loans with ever unlikelier chances of ultimately paying them off gets loans at the same terms as those that are trusted to pay them off?

    It doesn’t matter if you feel the effect comes from trust or coercion, but if you keep priting money to pay for the wages like you’re suggesting then your money soon becomes worthless. And then your citizens are in trouble.

    And like explained, small countries just can’t match the subsidies, not in the amount or the longevity. So even if they’re really aggressive about it, bigger economies USA, China, India that we mentioned, they can out-subsidise the small countries. So why exactly is anyone buying this domestic product if foreign products are just much cheaper?

    It just seems like your plan for small countries being competetive relies on them being able to outspend the big economies with printing money and taking loans. And that… doesn’t sound great
