@lilithsaintcrow @daviddlevine I think the root of the error is that most of us think of money as a physical thing—physical tokens made of shiny metal/green ink on paper. But it's not: money is to the economy as potential difference is to an electrical circuit. Open a gap in the circuit and the electrons (goods and services) stop circulating. Push more goods (electrons) through the circuit (the economy) and you have an increased current flow or pressure (potential difference across the circuit).
