"It's more than just trouble, isn't it?"
Evelyn turned to look at Leo.
"You're stuck."
"You want to use credit notes to get the supply chains of seven cities flowing again. That's an extremely dangerous financial experiment."
"It's feasible on a state level, but your team can't pull it off."

"The people you've hired understand theory and models, but they don't understand true financial engineering."
"The system they've designed can't circumvent state banking regulations, and it can't solve the risk of default when liquidity dries up."
"What you need is to build a miniature central banking system. It involves pricing underlying assets, clearing notes, and hedging risks."
"This is a massive undertaking that requires immense expertise and complexity."
"It's not something you can solve by hiring a few bookworms to drink coffee in a hotel room."
Leo was silent.
'She's right.'
