Some commenters misunderstand Richard Werner. He doesn't promote QE as something we should aim to do. He proposes that governments with a sovereign currency can use it to fix a banking disaster, and he admits that this is a bank bailout and thus bad and creating moral hazard. If you listen to his wider work, he advocates that we need to stop banks from creating the boom and bust ecomomic cycles. He argues we need to stop loans for asset purchases, for example to finance the acquisition of a company, or to fund a large commercial property development. He advocates for more small regional banks who will loan to local businesses. Werner is not part of the corrupt establishment. They detest him for exposing their corrupt self interest. I detest the central banks and the too big to fail banks and so does richard.
Richard Werner just speaks the truth about modern money creation. It’s almost exclusively a private bank credit system, which is not a force for good and must periodically crash and demand public funding. Which it gets. This is worse than bad.
Honest question, if banks shouldn't provide loans to consumers for asset purchase (vechile and asset finance) who should? I know he said outside the banking sector but won't that create a shadow, riskier, banking sector? I watched Princes of Yen again the other. Best financial documentary!
It would be non-bank financial institutions who would lend pre-existing credit(meaning in this case credit that financed more production upon creation), meaning that they would loan deposits. Maybe it could be FDIC regulated too, but it would have to be a separate set of regulations and rule from banks.
No, he is not full if it; RW explains fractional reserve banking very well, one of the clearest and most succinct I've heard. However, he is not addressing the problems and lethal consequences connected with the concept. QE IS a Ponzi scheme in that money early in the game is priced and valued more than later money. You borrow and spend dollars today that you don't have (and didn't earn) and pay back (if you do) less-valuable dollars tomorrow (or manana, well down the line). INFLATION (the growth of the money supply, NOT the increase in prices) punishes the poor who do not stand in the front of the line nor play the game), while the wealthy and connected pay themselves, bribe each other, and drink first (and deepest) from the trough. The ignorant (like Kamala) will claim that it is capitalism or corporate that is the culprit, but this is a DAMNED lie. It is pure theft of the monetary kind, with inflation the unheralded tax and the great UNequalizer. Look at when the money supply went parabolic, when the growth of the federal government became cancerous, when the debt rocketed into space, when the chasm between have and have nots became so apparent, when our industries were hollowed out. It's eye opening. THE flaw is that money is tied to nothing but a promise. When the Central Authority can loan or print without worrying about paying equal for equal, there is no governor to the system. Who cares? Put it on the tab, my man! And we all wonder how we've accumulated $35+ trillion in national debt? It's the "power" (the debt trap) of fiat currency, and it is killing prosperity. The evils it brings in its wake will kill the nation.
Listening to this, it struck me that a key factor in determining if QE actually results in money being added to the real economy is whether the central bank buys assets from the non-banking sector or not. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the complexity of debt-based monetary systems, but I don’t see how the central bank swapping balance sheet “tokens” (i.e., bank reserves) for treasuries necessarily increases bank lending. Doesn’t it risk the opposite effect in that it sops up safe, highly liquid collateral (treasuries) that can be lent in repo and other transactions from commercial bank balance sheet?
A good indicator seems to be money velocity(nGDP/money supply). If money supply increases faster than nGDP, velocity goes down, and it indicates that either people save more(its doesn't look like it that much) or money circulates in ways that doesn't increase nominal GDP. Savings, buying used goods, real estate, land, stocks, bonds, etc.
Economic justice is when the individuals that made the bad decisions and then profited off of those bad decisions are forced to pay (and/or) go to jail. Banks/corporations failing never brings justice. But economic justice will never happen in our society.
QE should be at the individual, not financial asset level. Generous short-term unemployment benefits could be monetized by central banks, staving off profound social issues and also ensuring aggregate demand doesn’t fall too far, so systemic credit doesn’t fail and the economy can chug along while being somewhat impaired in the short term. Sovereign credit wouldn’t be impacted because there’d be an expectation of the economic cycle rebounding, cushioned by government supported consumer spending. Banks, corporations and securities would be bankrupted and their assets sold to new risk takers. Corporate failure should be perpetual, as a healthy symbol of risk taking and competition. This would be democratic capitalism.
Although this episode impressively presents the in-depth analysis of the money creation, there are serious problems with the logic of the QE. Prof. W said QE1 does not create inflation since the money given to a commercial bank remains in the Fed Reserve as a reserve credit to this bank. This money does not enter the real (non-bank) economy and therefore does not create inflation. This makes no sense since the QE money given to a bank in trouble cannot do any good for this bank unless this bank can, at least in part, use it for its day to day operation. If the QE money is to be helpful, it must be used for something and not only sit in the Central Bank as the untouchable reserve.
@Beaconism-Dollarism, I haven't watched the video yet, but your description is very clear. I suspect you're incorrect, because the Fed paid interest on excess reserves during those years, which acted as a substitute for commercial bank lending. During those years, lending into the real economy was muted, while lending for speculation was, as always, in full throttle. The interest on excess reserves rewarded banks for not doing productive lending and incentivized the banks to let those reserves sit and do nothing. The Republican Senator Phil Gram wrote an article towards the end of the Obama years making the case to end the interest on excess reserves policy.
In 2020 the Federal Reserve Bank discontinued Reserve Requirements for banks. It eliminated Excess Reserves. I'm searching for changes to commercial bank balance sheets.
There is a problem with the analysis of what caused inflation. I did not and I do not know people whose assets increased so that consumption increased causing inflation. Inflation is the imposition of liabilities on society forcing the transfer of assets to those who impose a liabilities. That impacts balance sheets by reducing equity that people in society have. Assets minus liabilities equal equity. Those who impose the higher prices - liabilities on society - receive an increase in assets while facing the same liabilities so their balance sheets show an increase in their equity. Higher interest rates by central banks signals the banking industry to impose liabilities on society with their higher interest rates. And that forces assets - cash/money - to be transferred to the bankers.
This dude explains money creation just like my late father-in-law John G Ranlett does...from an academic, extremely boring viewpoint. He is correct, but does not go into who started this con, and how they use money creation to control the world...Bill Still with his documentaries The Money Masters and The secret of OZ, and Paul Grignon's documentaries Money as Debt 1 through 4 explain everything a lot better and easier to comprehend.
