&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Narendra Modi went on national television at 8 p.m. on November 8 to announce that from midnight of that very date, i.e. in a mere four hours&amp;rsquo; time, 500 and 1000 rupee notes would cease to be legal-tender.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The justification advanced for this bizarre move was that it would strike at &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo;. An additional argument was thrown in, to the effect that fake currency notes used by &amp;ldquo;terrorists&amp;rdquo; would now cease to be effective, and some particularly enthusiastic supporters of the government even went to the extent of calling it a &amp;ldquo;surgical strike against terrorism&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I shall come to the fake currency issue later. Let me first look at the &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; argument which even President Pranab Mukherjee has gone out of his way to endorse. This argument, namely that the demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee notes constitutes an attack on &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo;, is based on an utter lack of understanding of the nature of &amp;ldquo;black money,&amp;rdquo; a conception of it that is staggering in its simple-mindedness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The implicit understanding is that &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; consists of hoards of cash which are held in trunks or pillowcases or buried under the earth. With this understanding, it is then suggested that if 500 and 1000 rupee notes are demonetized, then people going to banks to exchange large amounts of old notes for the new legal tender would make the banks suspicious; and banks in turn would convey their suspicions to the tax authorities who would then catch the culprits. &amp;ldquo;Black money&amp;rdquo; would thus get exposed, and this would discourage further transgressions in future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, the second part of this argument, even assuming that &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; actually consists of cash-hoards, makes little sense. If a person possesses, say, unaccounted money of Rs.20 crores, and that too in 500 and 1000 rupee notes, then such a person will certainly not come with the entire Rs.20 crores to a bank to change it into the new legal-tender (he will not be allowed to do so anyway); he would rather send several factotums to the bank, each carrying a small amount, and would do so over a number of days prior to the December 30 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact even this prolonged effort would be unnecessary, since all sorts of intermediaries would come up fairly soon who would do this job of exchanging old notes for new ones on behalf of customers for a consideration. With such &amp;ldquo;black operators&amp;rdquo;, exchanging &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; from the old legal tender to the new legal tender, the idea, mooted by &amp;ldquo;experts&amp;rdquo; on several TV channels, that demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupee notes would unearth illegal cash-hoards makes little sense. &lt;br /&gt;

With such &ldquo;black operators&rdquo;, exchanging &ldquo;black money&rdquo; from the old legal tender to the new legal tender, the idea, mooted by &ldquo;experts&rdquo; on several TV channels, that demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupee notes would unearth illegal cash-hoards makes little sense. <br /><br />Please <a href="http://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/NewsDetail/index/1/9151/Demonetization-Witless-and-Anti-People" title="http://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/NewsDetail/index/1/9151/Demonetization-Witless-and-Anti-People">click here</a> to read more. <br /></div>               </font>

An additional argument was thrown in, to the effect that fake currency notes used by &amp;ldquo;terrorists&amp;rdquo; would now cease to be effective, and some particularly enthusiastic supporters of the government even went to the extent of calling it a &amp;ldquo;surgical strike against terrorism&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I shall come to the fake currency issue later. Let me first look at the &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; argument which even President Pranab Mukherjee has gone out of his way to endorse. This argument, namely that the demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee notes constitutes an attack on &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo;, is based on an utter lack of understanding of the nature of &amp;ldquo;black money,&amp;rdquo; a conception of it that is staggering in its simple-mindedness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The implicit understanding is that &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; consists of hoards of cash which are held in trunks or pillowcases or buried under the earth. With this understanding, it is then suggested that if 500 and 1000 rupee notes are demonetized, then people going to banks to exchange large amounts of old notes for the new legal tender would make the banks suspicious; and banks in turn would convey their suspicions to the tax authorities who would then catch the culprits. &amp;ldquo;Black money&amp;rdquo; would thus get exposed, and this would discourage further transgressions in future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, the second part of this argument, even assuming that &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; actually consists of cash-hoards, makes little sense. If a person possesses, say, unaccounted money of Rs.20 crores, and that too in 500 and 1000 rupee notes, then such a person will certainly not come with the entire Rs.20 crores to a bank to change it into the new legal-tender (he will not be allowed to do so anyway); he would rather send several factotums to the bank, each carrying a small amount, and would do so over a number of days prior to the December 30 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact even this prolonged effort would be unnecessary, since all sorts of intermediaries would come up fairly soon who would do this job of exchanging old notes for new ones on behalf of customers for a consideration. With such &amp;ldquo;black operators&amp;rdquo;, exchanging &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; from the old legal tender to the new legal tender, the idea, mooted by &amp;ldquo;experts&amp;rdquo; on several TV channels, that demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupee notes would unearth illegal cash-hoards makes little sense. &lt;br /&gt;

The implicit understanding is that &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; consists of hoards of cash which are held in trunks or pillowcases or buried under the earth. With this understanding, it is then suggested that if 500 and 1000 rupee notes are demonetized, then people going to banks to exchange large amounts of old notes for the new legal tender would make the banks suspicious; and banks in turn would convey their suspicions to the tax authorities who would then catch the culprits. &amp;ldquo;Black money&amp;rdquo; would thus get exposed, and this would discourage further transgressions in future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, the second part of this argument, even assuming that &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; actually consists of cash-hoards, makes little sense. If a person possesses, say, unaccounted money of Rs.20 crores, and that too in 500 and 1000 rupee notes, then such a person will certainly not come with the entire Rs.20 crores to a bank to change it into the new legal-tender (he will not be allowed to do so anyway); he would rather send several factotums to the bank, each carrying a small amount, and would do so over a number of days prior to the December 30 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact even this prolonged effort would be unnecessary, since all sorts of intermediaries would come up fairly soon who would do this job of exchanging old notes for new ones on behalf of customers for a consideration. With such &amp;ldquo;black operators&amp;rdquo;, exchanging &amp;ldquo;black money&amp;rdquo; from the old legal tender to the new legal tender, the idea, mooted by &amp;ldquo;experts&amp;rdquo; on several TV channels, that demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupee notes would unearth illegal cash-hoards makes little sense. &lt;br /&gt;

Demonetization: Witless and Anti-People -Prabhat Patnaik

-TheCitizen.in NEW DELHI: Narendra Modi went on national television at 8 p.m. on November 8 to announce that from midnight of that very date, i.e. in a mere four hours’ time, 500 and 1000 rupee notes would cease to be legal-tender. The justification advanced for this bizarre move was that it would strike at “black money”. An additional argument was thrown in, to the effect that fake currency notes used by “terrorists” would now cease to be effective, and some particularly enthusiastic supporters of the government even went to the extent of calling it a “surgical strike against terrorism”. I shall come to the fake currency issue later. Let me first look at the “black money” argument which even President Pranab Mukherjee has gone out of his way to endorse. This argument, namely that the demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee notes constitutes an attack on “black money”, is based on an utter lack of understanding of the nature of “black money,” a conception of it that is staggering in its simple-mindedness. The implicit understanding is that “black money” consists of hoards of cash which are held in trunks or pillowcases or buried under the earth. With this understanding, it is then suggested that if 500 and 1000 rupee notes are demonetized, then people going to banks to exchange large amounts of old notes for the new legal tender would make the banks suspicious; and banks in turn would convey their suspicions to the tax authorities who would then catch the culprits. “Black money” would thus get exposed, and this would discourage further transgressions in future. Now, the second part of this argument, even assuming that “black money” actually consists of cash-hoards, makes little sense. If a person possesses, say, unaccounted money of Rs.20 crores, and that too in 500 and 1000 rupee notes, then such a person will certainly not come with the entire Rs.20 crores to a bank to change it into the new legal-tender (he will not be allowed to do so anyway); he would rather send several factotums to the bank, each carrying a small amount, and would do so over a number of days prior to the December 30 deadline. In fact even this prolonged effort would be unnecessary, since all sorts of intermediaries would come up fairly soon who would do this job of exchanging old notes for new ones on behalf of customers for a consideration. With such “black operators”, exchanging “black money” from the old legal tender to the new legal tender, the idea, mooted by “experts” on several TV channels, that demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupee notes would unearth illegal cash-hoards makes little sense.
