@@gregorious123 Changing the ownership of the bank to a public institution doesn't change the ethics of debt-based money. When banks create money out of thin air, it is impossible to repay because they only create the principal and not the interest. The only way to repay the loan is to borrow more money, and this forces people into a cycle of endless debt and defaults while the banks make huge fortunes from our suffering. And Werner thinks this evil system should be preserved because it is good for "business development." Why not return to 100% debt-free money, and abolish legalized counterfeiting by banks?
@@widehotep9257 Our bank deposits are liabilities to the banks. So they reduce their equity. When we repay a loan, we destroy that principal money that was created out of thin air, and the interest paid becomes an asset to the bank. If we made that payment with money earned by producing something (helping increase GDP), then that works for the economy. But if we never pay, or if we just keep borrowing from somewhere else and never produce that in value, then we're just helping devalue the dollar by creating money that is not backed with production. My point is that "debt based money" will work as long as the debt that creates new money "out of thin air" is always used to increase GDP, ie producing new things "out of thin air". Knowledge (a new product/service/improvement) is the creation of something out of thin air, so new money should enter the economy out of thin air as well, to mirror our created knowledge. Capitalism is fundamentally a system of knowledge. We have today the same resources as we had in the stone age, but it's all transformed by knowledge, which we create out of thin air.

@@thanhpham1647 It doesn't make sense how "Quantitative Easing" would ever be beneficial to anyone but the rich. I would call this a "controlled opposition documentary" as it appears somewhat in this documentary like he is on the side of the Austrian economists, but he is not, he is for Q.E. and I have heard also "pioneered" the concept of Q.E. This has done nothing but benefit the rich and rob the middle class and poor via inflation. It certainly has propped up the stock markets though, which I am sure he was benefiting greatly. Just another question...he did say , I heard him, but I don't know if he was quoting someone else's words, but he said "Why are you not printing more money!?" is that indeed what he said to someone with regards to the Bank of Japan?

i dont understand why no criticism for this guy Professor Richard Werner? anyone can explain what i am missing here? He advocates for Q.E. policies in order to inflate economies , but at the same time this causes mass inflation and devaluation of the currencies?
Absolutely love Werner. I cannot think of a clearer, simpler or more thorough explanation of the banking system, money creation, and what makes it healthy or unhealthy. I especially appreciated hearing obout the effect of bank lending depending on what the loan will be used for. Yes, helicopter money will be inflationary because it WILL go into 1) assets or 2) consumption NOT into 3) small business investment. I'm about 4/5 the way through this discussion right now and I don't expect this to come up... but I would love to hear Werner's (or yours Danielle) thoughts on crowdfund investing. There are many regular folks out here with modest surpluses, who don't qualify as "accredited" investors (high net worth with min earned annual income over $200k), or who have no way to become "angel investors", but who would still love to collectively lend to small, viable, often local businesses. Without small community banks to vet and facilitate loans to SMEs (with returns to depositors or bank shareholders) it seems like human ingenuity continues to try workarounds such as entrepreneurs seeking business loans from people willing to lend via crowdfunding platforms. Perhaps this kind of small lending/borrowing can also be an economic life support when the increasingly large and centralized system finally collapses on itself.

"Essentially it's a big Ponzi scheme. As long as banks continue to create credits for asset purchases." It's amazing how I watch this video looking at another man talk and nothing seems to happen on the surface, but on the inside I feel like a lightning has struck onto my understanding of current world order. This man is truly amazing educator! My question is if the banking reserves at central banks don't matter, why do they exist in the first place then ? Just in case the client of the bank demands payout in cash ? Can someone answer this?
Bank reserves yes provide liquidity to meet customer demand for cash. They are also a tool used to maintain the Fed's policy rate. Formerly the Fed used open market bond sales/purchases to maintain its policy interest rate. Now central banks do that by paying banks interest on reserves, so that rate becomes the effective policy rate.
at 1:05:28 minutes even Danielle threw the towel , the interview is so dense and impactful...and it's actually when the best started, the reverse correlation between growth and interest rates . what an overview of economics, this guy is the real deal in my opinion.

Direct payments(stimulus) if continued could lead to hyper-inflation...And if that happens, there are only two options.. 1) Increase the interest rates significantly and reduce back-credit causing Stock/Housing market crash..(Repeat of 2008/1920s...) 2) Do nothing...which will lead to a loss of confidence and an eventual Dollar-crash.

Hello everyone, I'm actually looking for a good trader that can help me trade and make good profits, But it's very hard to see a trusted one.... Any idea..
Then I'll like to introduce you to my Mrs Mitchell Roland, Expert Mitchell is the best, have been working with her for months now, investing with Mrs Mitchell is awesome and cool.
Incredibly insightful episode! Banking and loan currency sources revealed. How do those loans impact the community and country at large? Answered! I was inspired to subscribe to the channel because of the quality of the information and references in this episode.
This was a good interview I have to say. I first got this idea of money creation by the banks from the book 'Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver' by Mike Maloney. He has a good explanation on how fractional reserve banking works and many other related issues.
If I follow this correctly, a banking license is membership to a club of members whom individually lend money into existence and agree to accept one another's liabilities (bank deposits - or whatever they want to call it) at a fixed exchange rate of 1:1 USD. With that, the Fed Reserve is the regulator of the club; and Fed Reserve Notes are Fed Reserve liabilities (member bank deposits to the Fed - or Fed Reserve liabilities or whatever else they want to call it) which members accept at a fixed exchange rate of 1:1 USD for use on the asset side of member balance sheets.
close, but in most cases banks are allowed to lend out 9 USD for every 1 USD they hold and as this money can be put at another bank (not all of it does, of course) you could argue that there's quite a lot of money creation at the banks...
I've been learning about macroeconomics since 2014 and have read, watched and listened to hundreds of books and videos. By far, this video is the most important of them all. Is it possible to get the ego maniacs in the central banks and politicians to do the opposite of what they're doing? You almost think they're doing it on purpose.
Bingo. If a bunch of smart successful people are doing something that seems stupid the logical conclusion is that they’re doing it on purpose. See COVID.
Mr. Werner nice explanation as always and very smart questions. Just to point out that only size is not enough. Germany is so successful because they have the right culture imbedded. As you know Germans think that because they never had access to energy they had to access it through selling high value technology based products. If you were to implement local small banking in Spain you may have some technological successes because they are very creative but for sure you will get another housing bubble. So I agree with you about the small banking for Spain but as far as is accompanied by a credit window oriented central directive. Best regards.
This man deserves a Nobel Prize. I still don't like QE - ultimately it facilitates getting away with financial crime on the basis that the banks will hold the economy hostage, whereas the proceeds of the crime should be redistributed and the criminals punished.

Danielle, The money creation scheme is well explained by Richard. However, not explained thus far is where the 2+ times the principle amount in interest is coming from over the term of the note? A similar question arises from any court created debts, where is this money coming from without the creation powers banks have for book entries? Any explanation of process should include these too.

It takes deep knowledge to be able to lay out these concepts so clearly. I am lucky to have heard Prof Werner.
I love this guy
Thank you Danielle for sharing this insightful interview with Richard. You both are truly amazing!
Wishing you all the best ✨
With love

Incredibly insightful episode! Banking and loan currency sources revealed. How do those loans impact the community and country at large? Answered!
I was inspired to subscribe to the channel because of the quality of the information and references in this episode.
Outstanding guest and an excellent interview
One year later, and he's absolutely right. Can't wait for you to sit again with him, Danielle.
Great interview.
55:46 "With the next crisis around the corner" don't let that go over your head guys👀👀
What’s the next crisis?
This was a good interview I have to say. I first got this idea of money creation by the banks from the book 'Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver' by Mike Maloney. He has a good explanation on how fractional reserve banking works and many other related issues.
Professor Werner is right about Economic Schools. All classes were about demand and supply and elasticity, Absolutely no teaching on money creation.
Chapter 17 "Princes of the Yen" the explanation of the Asian debt Crisis is amazing!
If I follow this correctly, a banking license is membership to a club of members whom individually lend money into existence and agree to accept one another's liabilities (bank deposits - or whatever they want to call it) at a fixed exchange rate of 1:1 USD. With that, the Fed Reserve is the regulator of the club; and Fed Reserve Notes are Fed Reserve liabilities (member bank deposits to the Fed - or Fed Reserve liabilities or whatever else they want to call it) which members accept at a fixed exchange rate of 1:1 USD for use on the asset side of member balance sheets.
close, but in most cases banks are allowed to lend out 9 USD for every 1 USD they hold and as this money can be put at another bank (not all of it does, of course) you could argue that there's quite a lot of money creation at the banks...
Brilliant!
Never heard of Richard until he was interviewed by Neil Mccoy-ward in October 2023. What an absolute champion of the people.
One of best interviews, you inspired me to go deep into economy thanks.
What an amazing show
I've been learning about macroeconomics since 2014 and have read, watched and listened to hundreds of books and videos. By far, this video is the most important of them all. Is it possible to get the ego maniacs in the central banks and politicians to do the opposite of what they're doing? You almost think they're doing it on purpose.
Bingo. If a bunch of smart successful people are doing something that seems stupid the logical conclusion is that they’re doing it on purpose. See COVID.
omg You have a point
Amazing Content!
This video should have 1 million views not 6300 views
Amazing listening to this interview in April 2023.
Jeff Snider thinks the Fed stopped looking at the money supply because it has become impossible to accurately measure.
It has
Mr. Werner nice explanation as always and very smart questions. Just to point out that only size is not enough. Germany is so successful because they have the right culture imbedded. As you know Germans think that because they never had access to energy they had to access it through selling high value technology based products. If you were to implement local small banking in Spain you may have some technological successes because they are very creative but for sure you will get another housing bubble. So I agree with you about the small banking for Spain but as far as is accompanied by a credit window oriented central directive. Best regards.
This man deserves a Nobel Prize. I still don't like QE - ultimately it facilitates getting away with financial crime on the basis that the banks will hold the economy hostage, whereas the proceeds of the crime should be redistributed and the criminals punished.
Down the Middle is probably the only series on Valuetainment that still provides value, for sure on Valuetainment Economics, Down the Middle is the only videos worth watching
'Princes of the Yen' that is turned outward, is his own book.
A brilliant episode. Thanks, Danielle!
And you wonder why folk are piling into crypto, whether of not they understand it or whether it is ready for prime time!
Excellent interview - thank you, both.
Dear danielle~ you look smashing today and thanks for the very valuable interview I've learnt alot from this!
Great interview! Thanks for the share Danielle and Richard.
Great interview. I've learned a lot from listening and reading Richards great work.
Great interview and educational information, liked it! Thanks!
Richard Werner coined the term Quantitative Easing - QE?? Wow
Yes and the QE we're seeing today is not the way he envisioned it.
Thank you for teaching Prof. Richard Werner. God bless Oxford. God bless everyone.
Where does Oxford come here?
@@kmr512 Doctor of Philosophy
in economics from Oxford Uni.
@@iloveamerica4891 Do you think he got this knowledge from the Uni? Rather both Oxford and Cambridge are the bastion of orthodoxy and imperialist mindset. They couldn't even handle a 20 year old Indian female president. 🙄
@@kmr512 Yes #Oxford #University is a special place. Anyone anywhere in this world who is someone graduated from #Oxford #University. #Politics and #Religions create problems. Humans have wickedness and love inside.
@@iloveamerica4891 But most of the arguments presented by the professor were using empirical evidence through his own research. If he conducted this research at Oxford, he would be thrown out by them. And yet you won't see any issue with it because you want to be part of that class. True, humans have strange cravings and complexes.
Tremendous stuff...true genius
commercial banks create private money by transforming an illiquid asset (the borrower’s future ability to repay) into a liquid one (bank deposits)
Danielle, The money creation scheme is well explained by Richard. However, not explained thus far is where the 2+ times the principle amount in interest is coming from over the term of the note? A similar question arises from any court created debts, where is this money coming from without the creation powers banks have for book entries? Any explanation of process should include these too.

He is saying the same things as Michael Hudson ! Bank lending for production and not for speculation and assets purchasing !
