Your argument against the mixing of politics and economics seems reasonable to me, and I am definitely going to read your suggestions and reach out for further discussion.
I'd like to see a separation of politics and economics too, I just think that's sort of a utopian ideal. What I really want is a separation of coercion and economic opportunity. Pre-Fed, most concentrations of wealth were driven by private-sector coercion - industrialists like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller coerced both their competition and their labor force, which is as equally distasteful to me as government coercion leading to concentrations of wealth.
Anyway, I'll get back to you. Do you have some social media or email address I can reach out after I've read your suggestions?
