purchasing power
Two voices linked purchasing power to currency strength and inflation. Brad Setser argued that a stronger renminbi would raise China’s external purchasing power and benefit Chinese consumers 1. Daniel Lacalle contended that government-driven inflation erodes currency purchasing power and that technological decentralization and currency competition would curb this, benefiting citizens by constraining fiscal/monetary imbalances 2.

The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
