"The modern banking system manufactures “money” out of nothing;
and the process is, perhaps, the most, astounding piece of
“sleight of hand” that was ever invented.
In fact, it was not invented. It merely “grew”. ...
Banks in fact are able to create (and cancel) modern “deposit money”,
just as much as they were originally able to create, or call in,
their own original forms of private notes.
They can, in fact, inflate and deflate, i.e., mint, and un-mint
the modern “ledger-entry” currency." | Quote by: | Major L. L. B. Angas
[Lawrence Lee Bazley White/Angas] (1893-1973) Australian-born British statesman, economist |
