If you use a definition of "money supply" that includes checking/savings accounts then if the bank loans money from one customer to another and the second customer deposits it into a checking/savings account then the "money supply" has gone up.Cool Breeze wrote: Tue Dec 21, 2021 10:18 am You know how they say that money is created by banks when they lend? Richard Werner showed this. The only thing I don't get is that if they create it (or are allowed to), why do they care if it ever gets paid back? Because they have to have an honest accounting of what happens to every transaction? That is, a guy defaults on a loan ... so what, it was always BS anyway and it wasn't from the banks other deposits and reserves!
