after all my railing against cyclops macronauts...

under a state sponsored unitary dome " fully socialized commanding heights"  economy
could the cyclops  suffice ......why of course

the unitary dome has no default  or delinquency rate  barrier to net credit flows

in essence if the credit system simply absorbs the fluxing rate of default
and  of delinquency
ie can not and therefore will not seize up
where's the basis for a  prolonged self building contraction ?

the transfer system could continue as b4
simply now  allowing an increase of risk assumption
up to  a reckless infusion of high risk loans to maintain effective demand

  could ..is of course not..... should ....
--------------------------

this clearly  shows the liquidity trap is simply a credit tra

ie the loans that could power a return to full employment
simply will not be made given the existing institutional arrangements
ie private for profit credit provision

given a sudden partially self fulfilling jolt to the default and delinquency rates
a self building slow down  in additional aggregate outstanding loan value
...even contraction of  the value of the loans outstanding can occur
and not  self reverse because the  new higher levels of  expected default and  delinquency
themselves will not reverse
as this impacts demand  firms and households will adjust "down " current  spending
etc etc

none of this follows by a credit system designed to operate not pro cyclically
but counter cyclically and not simply that
but recognize a systemic higher default rate and growing delinquencvy rate is
precisely the  grounds for increasing the net flow of credit
