Remove opinion
As written/referenced, this appears to be a statement of opinion: "However as a tax on wealth, it reduces the incentive to create wealth and thus damages the economy." The reference is to a blog about a wealth tax, and opinions on the wealth tax, which as near as I can tell is not the same as demurrage, and certainly is not any kind of scientifically backed statement. I have not removed the text, as I am not well educated in demurrage, but I think it needs a much, much better citation if it is going to stay in the article. --131.187.118.166 (talk) 13:38, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, this sentence about "tax on wealth" is unrelated to the article, and the reference is not a Reliable Source. Sperxios (talk) 16:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Mark Twain not Keynes? Anachronism? Who originated the central inflation concept?
"as proposed by Keynes " is the credit given in the article for steady inflation. It that accurate? It is notable that the Boss's currency in A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court is designed to inflate at a rate carefully calculated to achieve current prices for common things at the time it was published, compared to the specific date at which the dream occurs. Does this observation belong here? When he wrote that book, Clemens was hobnobbing with New York tycoons, the concept may have been generally floating about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.8.27.140 (talk) 20:51, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
