ரகசியம் — How Banks Create Money From Nothing: The Full Truth Exposed | Jayasim Jayakumar

from The Jayasim Podcast · host Jayasim Jayakumar

Have you ever wondered what really happens to the money you deposit in a bank? The truth is, your cash doesn't sit safely in a vault — it exists mostly as numbers in a ledger. This documentary traces the fascinating evolution of banking from ancient Mesopotamia, where temples in present-day Iraq stored grain and extended loans to farmers, through the wooden benches of 11th-century Italy where the very word "bank" was born from the Italian "banco." You'll discover how the modern fractional reserve banking system allows banks to create new money simply by issuing loans, how the Reserve Bank of India and central banks worldwide use tools like the Repo Rate and Quantitative Easing to steer entire economies, and why the entire system rests on one surprisingly fragile foundation — trust. From the Yes Bank crisis of 2020 to the origins of Bitcoin born from the ashes of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, this is the complete story of how money, banking, and power are truly connected.#jayasimjayakumar #jayasim #banking #howbankswork #fractionalreservebanking #moneycreation #centralbank #reservebankofindia #rbi #bitcoin #bankrun #yesbank #monetarypolicy #financialsystem #indianeconomy #bankingtamil
