"Money" doesn't really exist. Debt exists. Do you remember the run on Northern Rock? Do you know about deposit ratios?
Its all debt man. And, as the ECB and BoE have shown, they can magic it up when ever they want to.
Equally, it could all be written off in a single stroke.
Once we left the gold standard, money as you know it is just a promise.
And promises are broken, amended, elongated all the time.
That's the long answer. Short one is govt bond's.

Originally posted by NickyBoy View PostZero hour contracts wouldn't be too bad without the exclusions that lock people into a single employer.
Being able to be on the books of a dozen companies and being able to fill in your week with work for any of them would significantly reduce the down side of these contracts.
We really need legislation for low-skilled zero hour contracts that enforce an 'on call' fee if they are exclusive, to encourage the use of non-exclusive contracts that allow flexibility for the employer and the employed.
At the moment, we the tax payers are effectively footing the bill for the 'on call' payments
Paying half a day for showing up and getting no work would be another. Not allowing them to force the employee or self employed to pay for protective clothing or overpriced vans or stock might be another.
The solution to Zero hour contracts is to have a shortage of potential employees then companies will treat staff better and pay them better.
