An army of social workers? **** me thats the last thing we need. They'll be arranging safari'd for the blighters so they can find themselves. if thats not a joke, that shows you know eff all about what a social worker actually does, it is a massively varied role. people usually slag them off till they need one most social workers are a waste of space.

When people are given less they get more angry. This is hardly revelationary. At least now we have some statistical proof of what everybody believed anyway It doesn't answer the question of whether they are actually given too little at times of civil unrest (or too much in the quieter times to suppress), or whether it is justifiable activity, or pays off for them (benefits vs risk of punishment). Everything is subjective. Do they have any figures for amount of rioting when a nation goes bankrupt due to overspend generated by placating them continuously?

I suppose a country that had a convertible currency could go broke?
Those with fiat money can just print their way out. Although this could lead to an equally bad outcome.
Always worth remembering that the money in our pockets is just paper and base metal, and our bank deposits are just electronically generated numbers.

I think this is a case of a technical definition against a perceived hypothetical state of being.
For my part, the mental image was a place where it was impossible to provide the materials needed for a moderately-above base level of survival from within it's own borders and means, and had nothing desirable to offer in trade to outside providers.
Perhaps "acute poverty" would be closer? I dunno.

You're talking about inflation, not going bankrupt. These are two different things. Generally the media encourages us to look at economics in a very topsy turvy way (so does A-level Economics BTW Scarecrow). When it comes to money we're not given the tools to think about it properly. Firstly, don't forget that only the Bank of England can produce notes and coins in the country. Secondly, most of the money that it produces is mainly by a key stroke on a computer. Thirdly it doesn't have a monopoly on producing electronic money - that is also done by private banks - as debt in the return for the promise to repay the capital plus interest. The action of creating money mainly occurs in the private sector. Money created by the BOE amounts to about 3% of that in circulation. It follows that it is the private creation of money that has greater potential for creating inflation. What people will try to tell you is that it is the creation of money by the Bank of England that is at the route of private money creation through something called the money multiplier. In other words private banks lend a multiple of the reserves created initially by the Bank of England. Instead, what happens is that private banks seek out credit worthy customers to lend money to and then sort out their reserves as a separate operation. As banks compete for market share then they seek out ever more less credit-worthy customers, and therein lies a problem. Of course, the Bank of England has an infinite number of keystrokes to spend and can therefore outbid anyone in the private sector for resources and thereby create excess aggregate demand that fuels inflation. But it private sector money creation that is key in that process. Assuming that our own A level results allows us to cope with a seven page pdf: www.debtdeflation.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ReturnOfTheBear.pdf
