All HYIPs are Ponzies

Does anyone think our money system is a big ponzi sceme that will collapse?

The fed keeps printing money, and everyone keeps borrowing and borrowing.

1. Nope. Capitalism is what people do when you leave them alone.
2. That depends on your definition of a ponzi scheme, I suppose. Typically, a ponzi scheme is when I get money from someone else based on the idea that they will get money from someone else and so on. A stable Ponzi scheme exists if the growth of players is equal to the growth of the population, assuming they get new money as well.
   
   
   
   To measure the growth of the money per population, you simply look at inflation. If inflation is less than the growth rate of output, then the ponzi scheme is stable and will not collapse. I think that inflation is near enough to follow output that we have a stable ponzi scheme.
