    (Unless you already covered it) Discuss how money is originated (created) via a loan (like a mortgage) using fractional reserve models. Then show how twice lent (or multiple lent) money can be repaid -- in other words if the same money is lent multiple times, where does the interest originate to repay the loan.

    # 2 Bad incentive is turned into crony capitalism.You are very smart but you never mentioned that an influx of bad investment ( fed money ) into the money supply takes away all incentive to save good investment ( peoples saveings ) in the way of interest rates. Very good video on what is happening.

    The alternative is full reserve banking. With full reserve banking, bank runs would be impossible, and you would have the most stable banking system in the world. Fractional reserve banking also contributes to the business cycle since it expands the supply of credit without an increase in savings. Full reserve banking does not do this.

    How about lets just allow both fractional- and full reserve banking together while definitely not saving any bank and their depositors during a bankruptcy? Lets let the people putting their money into fractional reserve banks lose all their money with every crash, and so that more and more people will put their money into full reserve banks. That will lead to the creation of more full reserve banks as well!

    True!! But at least he's making sure to point out that "stable" does not mean sustainable in this context. He does make it pretty clear that there is no proper solution to an over heating economy, nor any way pf actially preventing it, and the banks have no proper cause of action in case of a "run on the banks" But it is "stable" in the sense that they are getting away with it, and they have been, for quite some time now.

    I think its a non sequitur to say FDIC or any "safety net" will cause banks to be careless in how they lend money. I think the use of fractional reserve banking is separate from how money in banks are insured. In theory, money could still be insured without the use of fractional reserve banking, which I believe it should. The causes of bank failures aren't limited to careless lending alone

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📉 Fractional reserve lending can be unstable, as banks promise depositors immediate access to their money, but a portion of it is being lent out. 02:22 A run on banks can occur if customers lose confidence in a bank, leading to potential bank failures and economic instability. 03:19 Governments address this by insuring banks (e.g., FDIC), but this can create a lack of market discipline and incentives for banks to be transparent about their operations. 05:12 Fractional reserve lending gives private banks control over the money supply, which can lead to unintended consequences during economic cycles, such as exacerbating recessions and booms.

    yes the ability to reason helps to keep me safe from sophistry I would recommend that you read "Web of Debt" by Ellen Brown. That might clear up some of the murkier issues of fraudulent fractional reserve lending. Did you ever notice that Shylock still wants a pound of flesh even after the money is offered to pay the debt? "If every ducat in six thousand ducats were in six parts, and every part a ducat, I would not draw them. I would have my bond." Shylock is a vampire.

    Good question. The money to pay the interest on all outstanding loans DOES NOT exist. This means that commercial banks, governments, corporations, and individuals must constantly return to borrow more money in order to service the debt currently in existence. The resulting negative feedback loop of constant new money creation results in the inflation of the money supply and the devaluation of the currency. I recommend you watch the documentaries Zeitgeist 2 and 3. It's free on youtube.

    See Dorothy M Nichols, Modern Money Mechanics, (Chicago: Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago 1961, rev. 1992) at page 8. Loaned out money that is deposited can become the basis of another loan. Bank1 Loan A = 10K; Deposited in Bank2 B2 LoanB = 9K; Dep Bank3 B3 Loan C = 8.1K; so far 17.1 K created from 10 K loan. 10 K loaned in this fashion can become 100K; 10 to 1. Money created by fraud.

    Putting aside the idea of a central bank... If a bank loans money that it does not have, then that money is CREATED. Period. It doesn't matter whether there is a piece of paper to represent it. Bank A loans Mr Laymens 20,000 dollars, that Bank A doesn't have. Mr Laymens buys a car. Car Dealer puts 20,000 dollars in his bank account. Now there are 20,000 more dollars in the system, and there is interest due on that magical money. But the interest was not created. FR lending is a fraud.

    Money is created when non-existent money is loaned out. Why do private banks have the power to create money this way? Private banks are ensured by the government. Therefore, the people of the US are guaranteeing the debts of the private banks. The profits from these loans are not shared with the people. If this sort of lending is necessary, as you say, then all of the people should benefit from money creation. Banking should be a public utility. Private FR banking is a fraud.

    The alternative is debt free, interest free money as a transition away from monetary systems. Money is created out debt (something that is totally ignored in these lectures). Governments don't create money on their own prerogative (in accord with Article I, Sec 8 of the Constitution), instead they borrow it from central bank at interest. And most importantly is that the interest required to pay off the loan does not exist in the money supply at the time the loan is made.PRETTY AMAZING SCAM.
