2010 AMI Conf. Prof. Kaoru Yamaguchi: Running the AMI Money-Creation Models in Vensim Model Reader

In this follow-up session, Kaoru Yamaguchi reflects on the conference through a “system design” lens, arguing that blaming individuals for the financial crisis misses the deeper structural causes—especially the debt accumulation dynamics he dates to the post-1971 era. He suggests U.S. politics functions like a one-party system when both major parties are funded by the same interests, and wonders why alternative parties (e.g., Greens) don’t become a stronger systemic counterweight. He then pivots to a practical demo, distributing his macro simulation models and draft materials and showing attendees how to install and use the free Vensim Model Reader (Windows/Mac) to open chapters—starting with a simple gold standard/fractional banking model (e.g., 200 gold expanding to 800 money supply), then exploring bank loans, government securities, interest, and price-adjustment mechanisms. He frames this as a new way to learn macroeconomics by combining double-entry accounting with dynamic modeling, invites feedback and questions by email, and emphasizes the educational value—especially as a “simulation game” that even kids can use to grasp money creation and instability in standard economic assumptions.
