Yeah, with money supply I actually was thunking of some vague future approach rather than the current setup. Be that some crypto thing, or the intriguing Sovereign Money[1] proposal.

And as for redistribution, I suppose just “printing” money into peoples account would more or less have the intended effect as well. I do suspect a 10% inflation rate would lead to simple logistics costs as the nominal amounts kept changing.

But yes, if only more policy was evidence based…

Nice link! Thanks. Very into centralizing the boring parts of banks as a utility like that, and just letting private banks do their funny stuff without captive regular people, but didn't no Iceland was thinking about it somewhat seriously.
