Volume CCLXII — The Money IllusionHow the financial system was designed to ensure you spend your life working for itModern money is created as debt. When a bank issues a loan, it does not lend money it has. It creates the money at the moment of lending. The money you borrowed did not exist before you signed the contract. This is not an alternative theory. It is the documented mechanism, published by the central bank itself.ReferencedBank of England Quarterly Bulletin, 2014 Q1: “Money Creation in the Modern Economy” by McLeay, Radia & Thomas.
