      czcams.com/video/iiKr-i022mY/video.html The Progressive Growth of the Money Supply Principle (year 2013) tells us the exact quantity of new money the economy needs to works correctly, driving us to the Wicksell interest rate or natural interest. This principle will force central banks to change monetary policy.

    I'm not sure you got the fractional reserve system right. You made it sound like it was something the banks invented well into their lives in order to make more money, but that's just it. The system itself if how they make money. As you said, banks make money from their loans, but they have always gotten the money for these loans from reserves. That means that at any given time a bank always had less money in reserves than people actually had deposited there since some of the reserves were used as loans. That itself is fractional reserve banking and also the foundation for every bank since their inception.

    I'm afraid that the fractional reserve theory has been proven to be wrong. Banks simply create money out of thin air when they make a loan and record this at their central bank - nothing to do with deposits. Prof. Richard Werner has some very good videos explaining this.

    "People started to use objects such as whale's teeth, as a kind of IOU". This seems like it skips several important step. Why would a seller of goods accept a whale tooth for their goods? Who would set whale tooth prices? Where would the whale teeth come from - one powerful seller, a consortium? Who would determine the initial distribution?

    • @tomw6926
      @tomw6926 Před 3 lety +1

      This is view of how money started actually has little evidence. One current belief is that currency was invented as a way of ensuring armies get fed by giving soldiers coins to exchange for goods and taxing the people at the end of a year goods or coins. If you had coins to give, you wouldn't have to give other things to the government as it proved that you'd done your bit to help the army (somewhere along the chain at least). Look up David Graeber's talks on debt; he gives a really good explanation of how money evolved.

    Hugh flaw. When someone gave you a whales tooth it did not mean "I owe you". It meant "I don't owe you anything anymore. I've already paid you with something we both find valuable." Money is not identical to debt. Huge flaw.

    • @ReasonsToUseBTC
      @ReasonsToUseBTC Před 5 lety +4

      Glad to see that someone else got that. Whale's teeth were sound money. He even compares Bitcoin to whale's teeth at the end of the video. Probably the biggest contradiction in the video IMHO.

    • @songoftheday4293
      @songoftheday4293 Před 3 lety +15

      You're misunderstanding the Whale's tooth example. Prior to whale's teeth they traded IOUs, that is, the IOUs that someone else promised to pay them. If i pay with an IOU you can go to someone else with that IOU and purchase something because that IOU is redeemable at the IOU issuer. You are essentially transferring the liability to someone else. Yes i may not owe you anymore, but the guy that owed me now owes you, and will pay you, if you present the IOU to him. So ultimately, it is still debt until the IOU(or whale's tooth in this example), is redeemed for whatever it is at the initial issuer of the IOU or whale's tooth.

    • @TreeLuvBurdpu
      @TreeLuvBurdpu Před 3 lety +6

      @@songoftheday4293 that's not the whale tooth example. That's a speculation that IOUs came before any whale tooth or other payment. And it's an absurd speculation. Why would anyone write a promise to pay, before anyone knew what a payment was?
      It's just another socialist attempt to invalidate voluntary trade and to turn it into something detached and sinister instead of what it really is, the simplest method of interpersonal communication, and greatest method of wealth production the world had ever known. Socialists undermine it because they prefer plunder.

    Money is an IOU
    Anyone can issue money, the problem is in getting other people to accept it!
    Our modern fiat currencies like the $ and £ are IOUs from our governments.
