A biggest public campaign has started to end fractional reserve banking, look at the POSITIVE MONEY website and support the campaign ...and spread the word.
Wow I wish I would have taken this instead of spending $500 on an accounting class at a community college. Actually my prof was pretty good and they cover a lot more than this but still
Why don't you treat the bank building as a starting equity also? (when you calculate the relative income at the end? What implications would there be if you'd include that building as a starting equity?
@krusaderkrusader3 The equity in this example is only $1 million of Shareholders' capital. This starting equity is then used to purchase the bank building for $1 million. You could not count the building again because that will be counting the same thing twice. Easy way to think about it is if I have $10,000 in cash that my dad gave me and use it to buy a car worth $10,000, I dont end up with $20,000. I ended up with $10,000 just in different form.
@whartanto2 Thanks for the response. This was actually the reason why I asked the question - I thought that besides the bank building the entrepreneur also has 1m in cash. So my predictions were kind of right I guess.
Haha that is one hell of a straight line at 0:55. Im wondering if he found the magical shift key that could have done it. I like the magical Alt+F4 combination that is a useful one
There are incorrect data in your vision. The 9 mil that the bank created is also being deposited so you also need to pay 5% interest on those promised 9 mil.
@LudwigDeGieter He is right, he has taken the 9 million dollars which he uses are working capital to calculate the interest income ie 900k whereas he takes 10 million dollars which he has as deposits as interest expense ie 500k
The Bank keeps the $1m in vault and rest $9m is invested in different projects. Now about $ 1,000,000. $100,000 is kept in bank branch whereas remaining is kept in the BIG Vault at state bank.
I'm 30 yr old and working Fulltime in IT industry. Career wise there is no need to watch any of you Math or Finance videos, but I just enjoy watching the way u present short lectures in a funny way, and in laymans' terms. I could watch you videos for hours and don't get tired... learning is never tiring, especially with teachers like you..
Request - In the Finance section, could you pls make a video on "Budgeting and Forecasting" process in a big organization?
@pizza621 My friend used to do the same exact thing Sal did-in New York City instead of California. He worked w/ hedge funds, or did something w/ hedge funds profiles. I really can't remember, but hedge funds was in there.
He likes Sal's videos too, especially the one where he said 'There are a lot of fancy terms being thrown around, but the basics really aren't all that confusing.'
He thought that was hilarious and so typical of how certain economists act. He watches all the time now.
I'm really confused about this. How is it possible that a bank keeps all that money in their vault?
I was in my bank once, trying to cash a check-minding my own business-and the bank was robbed by 3 goons. They asked for all the money in the vault, and one of the bank employees told them there's never more than 100,000 in the vault. There was less than that in my bank.
So where are they keeping the remaining $8,900,000?
Is an income statement that letter Social Security sends you every year, and which shows how much you've, in my banker friend's words, paid to the piper?
Or is the check you get from work every two weeks?
People forget what money represents- goods and services. These services require human labor to perform- if them just fell from the sky they would have no value. Money and the economy is a social relation and it arranges the social productivity of human beings.
Have you read much of Marxist economics? Marx talks alot about the fetishism of money and commodities and how it hides the social relations behind an economy.
Should point out that the change in equity is only equal to the aftertax income if no dividends are drawn. Say you decide to buy a yacht with $100k of the income, then your delta equity would only be $100k.
Hard commodities are going to hold their value, not FIAT currency. Invest in tools, guns, ammo, gold or silver etc. Think of what you would NEED if say the world as we know it ends and walmart isn't open anymore. That xbox or LCD TV is really worthless if you have no power.
Hmmmm .... How is a borrower considered an asset? I believe it is an educated gamble to believe I will get paid back the money I loaned out. It appears to be a system based on faith in getting a return
This video is interesting because it helps to demonstrate how the rich get richer faster than the rest of us, as banks (for example) can make investments from their own equity without requiring a loan, i.e. no interest to deal with.
They aren't really using their equity, but rather other people's money. Equity is a claim against assets; here that is initially the $1m building, then the $200k interest that came in for total $1.2m. Also, in the purest sense, the interest is payment for matching up people's savings with borrowers and assuming all risks, as still owe savers their money + promised interest.
Thank you so much. All your videos are very helpful. I know I might be demanding too much but can you post some basic videos on electronics and computers...
There videos are amazing. My econ teacher is terrible and I've been watching a lot of your videos to make up for his terrible lectures. You're a much better prof ;)
Lol, machine guns. Where's the golden parachute? Oh I get it your bank didn't hand out any credit cards or checking accounts yet with all the added services.
Sal, If everyone had you as a teacher, there wouldn't be a recession.

I can't help liking money after I spent a few days w/ my friend, who's an economist.
He had a BMW, but he wouldn't let me drive it. He had a penthouse too. I THINK that's what it was. It has a view of the harbor. And it was QUIET.
In NYC, in Manhattan, he lives in a quiet place.
That's amazing.
