So the Fed can print $100 bills and the Bank of England can print £10 notes. I never knew that! Thank goodness we have Peter May to inform us about this amazing development(ho ho).

The problem is that the government-privileged usury cartel, aka "the banks", can create money too and much more than they could do as 100% private businesses with 100% voluntary depositors.

And guess what, the deposits the banks create are NOT for the general welfare but for their own welfare and the welfare of the most so-called "credit worthy" - typically the rich.

Andrew, I may have said this before, in which case I apologise, but you might be interested in a recent paper of mine which sets out a very simple reason against money creation by commercial banks. Google the title of the paper “The Crucial Flaw in the Bank System” and my name.

I’ve submitted a slightly longer version of that to the “Money, Macro and Finance” meeting at Cambridge, UK, due to take place in September.
