THE AGENDA!• Introduction!• What is money ?!• Creation of Fiat Money!• Why Fiat Money Fail!• Solution!

FIAT MONEY is the official money of any government!

Expenditure! Income!

BANKS created the fiat money not the government !!

Central Bank!Government!

They print money out of THIN AIR and charge INTEREST to the government !!

Fiat Money!

Government bond!

Commercial banks also created fiat money through the fractional reserve banking!

Through fractional reserve banking, banks can give loan up to 9x their reserves !!

QUOTES!

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before morning.”!!- Henry Ford!  

In other words money is DEBT!Without debt, money do not exist!

Central Bank!Government!

Community! Commercial Bank!

Government bond!

Fiat Money!

Debt!

Loan!

They created the PRINCIPLE but the INTEREST was never created!So, the amount of debt must exceed or at least in the same amount of principle + interest created!

Debt!Principle + Interest!

(P + I)!

If the P + I needed exceeds the debt in the system the economy will CRASH !Because there isn’t enough money to pay all the debts !!

QUOTES!“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”!!- Thomas Jefferson!

With fiat money and fractional reserve banking they receive UNFAIR profits!Because they created a little value but received a lot of value !!

Goods & Services!

Principle!

P + I!

Bankers and a few businessman receive the most benefit from this system!As fiat money flows into our society, first few money holders can buy at a normal price while most of the people buy at an inflated price. WHY ?!
