A causal loop synthesis of Allen and Mokyr's explanations of the British Industrial Revolution fro 1700 to 1850 based on Mokyr's Enlightenment Economy Book and Gene Bellinger's Gemini Scripts Jan 2026

Expanded from MMT 101 Overview insight which  used Jim Byrne's popular mmt101 blog entry Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) in 70 Bullet Points as the basis of my Gemini interaction Feb 2026 using Gene Bellinger's AI Causal loop diagram prompts. This extension including 2019 notes (orange hexagons) and my  Additional Gemini interaction to include interest rates (blue hexagons)

To develop insights regarding a situation of interest there are a number of things should be considered to ensure a view of the relevant influences.

Original Insight (#1366) by Gene Bellinger

This is a stock-flow consistent model, namely the simplest (SIM) model with government money. I have added imports and exports and an exchange rate which has an influence on consumption demand via real disposable income and real foreign demand.

Godley/Lavoie (2006), chapter 3

(I had to change the equation for consumption demand. The disposable income now enters with a time lag of one period. Otherwise the model would be recursive and would not work in Insight Maker. Thanks to Gene for support.)

This is a stock-flow consistent model, namely the simplest (SIM) model with government money.

(I had to change the equation for consumption demand. Disposable income and wealth now enterwith a time lag of one period. Otherwise the model would be recursive and would not be solvable in Insight Maker. Thanks to Gene for support.)

Gene Bellinger's Certified Systems Thinker  course requires several causation models to be developed. This is my second sheet of such models.

We often set out to solve a problem or accomplish some particular result and things seem to go as planned. As time progresses it seems that progress becomes more and more difficult, if not impossible, and things may actually become worse than when we started. When this happens it is typically a Fixes that Fail structure that's operating. See also Archetypes.
