#Negatieve #rente What is the real message of negative interest?

Getting money on a mortgage loan, negative savings rates, the world upside down. There are no good explanations for. Books of economists are rewritten, new theories see the light of day and are thrown out the window. At first glance it is indeed very strange what is happening, yet there is a good explanation for. Strangely enough, this explanation is based on the operation of a money system that has been released several decades ago, the gold standard.

The well-known economist John Maynard Keynes spoke for many when he wrote in 1923 that the gold standard was a “barbaric relic”, a standard of the backward past. The new era of progress had come, academics and policymakers were eager to transform the future into an ideal image.
