Chartalism is the historical origin story to a better present and future.

"Shelves of junk food reflect a system prioritising corporate profits. [...] Scotland’s NHS bears this strain; exacerbated by dependence on UK trade policies favouring big business."

The RBA has formal independence. It sets rates without interference.

True sovereignty isn't a legal status; it is structural resilience.
