Fractional Reserve Banking sounds quite innocuous. It is not. The idea is that a bank can take in honest money from people and lend out far more. If the bank is holding $1 billion and paying 3% while lending $10 billion at 6% it is getting rich fast. It is also guilty of de facto forgery. It therefore requires government complicity. Producing money by sleight of hand causes inflation which defrauds honest men by reducing the value of their hard earned pay. There is no way for us to tell the difference between funny money and the real thing. That is why banks will not lend to each other - they know that these bits of paper can turn out to worthless or worse. There are however economists who tell us that it is benign. I am suspicious of them as a class. Milton Friedman is an exception. He talked sense even though he got a Nobel prize. He was a Jew too but a force for good, a mathematician who did important work on proximity fuzes.
