I can't understand why any of the TV channels have not aired a programme based on these videos. A lot of people would find them fascinating and very relevant at this moment.It's great to be ALIVE!0

Yeah, I found the 'Money as Debt' video on youtube a few years ago now and found it very interesting. I also really liked the Zeitgeist videos too which are also excellent and leave you with food for thought.

A house is worth what a bank is prepared to lend you to buy it. We are gradually adjusting to this reality
. Very few of us can buy property outright. 0 -
I saw these some time ago, they are a good way of getting the point across to the layman. Perhaps Brown should watch them and perhaps he would realise why, in his words that the banks 'aren't lending at 2007 levels'. He really is a meathead.0

Because if people realised what they were part of they wouldnt want to be any more.
Theres no government in the world that wants the citezenry to actually understand fractional reserve banking.0 -
Don't get any simpler explanation than this.

I always understood it to mean: simple as
Bank deposits 10k
Bank lending Cdo's etc (9k)
Cash reserve (1k)
I have not watched that video yet, but I will.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Yep. Then the 9k is spent, the recipient puts it in their bank, and that bank lends out £8k of it. Total original deposit £10k, total amount of debt-based money currently in the economy, £17k. Re-do from start, changing the cash reserve ratio as you see fit.Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!0 -
Who was it who said "if the people find out where and how money comes from
there would be rioting in the streets"????It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0
