Now the “Cashless Society” Bandwagon Comes to Australia

Cashless Society

We’ve seen the movement toward a cashless society take root in India, Sweden, other parts of Europe and the United States. Now the call is being heard in Australia. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the leading media channel in Australia, features an in-depth interview with Harvard Professor Ken Rogoff, author of the new book,  The Curse of Cash, and a leading voice calling for the elimination of cash. You can read an  overview of the interview here .

As usual, those calling for the elimination of cash point to drug dealers and tax evaders as a main reason to ban large-denomination bills. It’s true that some criminals use cash, but they also use precious metals, art, bitcoin and other techniques to evade detection.

Meanwhile, honest citizens use cash everyday out of simple preference or convenience. In particular, many poor people use cash because they don’t have bank accounts and don’t qualify for debit or credit cards. Since when has the presence of criminality been an excuse to snuff out liberty? Our legal system is specifically designed to protect the rights of the innocent even if it means a few criminals go free.

Rogoff’s war on cash turns this principle on its head and treats honest citizens like criminals merely because they prefer cash. Hopefully, the anti-cash disaster unfolding in India will be a wake-up call for Australia before they succumb to the arguments of the cashless snake-oil salesman from Harvard.

IF THE SCIENCE IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE, JUST TRY THREATS

It’s clear that good science does not support the extreme claims of the climate alarmists. Yes, there is such a thing as climate change, but it’s slow, difficult to predict and almost impossible to model because of the complexity of the process. The climate alarmists have grabbed most of the headlines for the past ten

WHY TRUMP WILL WIN REELECTION: NOT POLLS OR PUNDITS; JUST COMMON SENSE

Political analysts use polls, betting odds, historic trends and other inputs to make their (usually wrong) political predictions. We all remember that “experts” said Hillary Clinton would win the presidency in 2016 (they gave her a 92% chance on the morning of the election), and that the UK would vote to “remain” in the EU
