Forum
 Although we intended to settle how to organize the Forum exchange presentations next week, we have received a considerable amount of input and therefore feel we should not delay responding to these on the site any longer otherwise we risk discouraging valuable input.
Helen Swathmore,
Politics Without Parties
23/03/2023
We have received the following types of messages:
- Anonymous but extremely useful;
- Requests by some individuals who are well known who will provide suggestions as long as they are not identified because some are prominent members of the main political parties;
- A range of observations from identified individuals.
Within these communications we have received the following types of content:
- Some questions on the "issues" section. So far no contrary positions;
- A growing number of comments and many questions concerning the content of the "potential solutions" section";
- Some general comments concerning typos, layout and suggestions on how to improve format to help non-economists (in the current sections) grasp the essential messages;
- A growing number of comments and many questions concerning the content of the "potential solutions" section";
- Several raising issues thus far not covered - we are noting these to ensure they are covered in the next period.
SUBSTANTIVE COMMENTS:
Given that the movement of the understanding of issues has migrated to a radically different macroeconomic paradigm it is surpirising that, so far, we have received no counter arguments concerning the "Issues section" content.
The "Potential solutions" section content seeks to justify the switch from the Aggregate Demand (AD) paradigm to the Production, Accessibility & Consumption (PAC) paradigm. We had expected negative feedback but none has been received, so far, to explain why this might be an invalid approach. This is surprising given that all of the current options: Keynesianism, Monetarism, Supply Side Economics and Modern Monetary Theory all operate in the Aggregate Demand domain. The AD asumptions dominate fiscal and BoE decisions.
TENTATIVE DECISION: Given the volume of inputs concerning a range of topics our light admin cannot adequately "manage" the content and we wish to avoid a Twitter type interactive system. Therefore our temporary decision is to pass on all inputs to content providers who are required to refer to and respond to forum inputs.
