Crash Course Chapter 7 (Money Creation): Understanding how money is created provides a foundation for appreciating the implications of our massive levels of debt, because it tells us how that debt came into being. As John Kenneth Galbraith once said, "The process by which money is created is so simple, the mind is repelled." Dr. Martenson walks us through this simple process of fractional reserve banking.

  • I always thought my high school AP Economics was illogical somehow. And I always thought what would happen if multiple people want to take out their savings from the bank? Now I know why the class didn't talk about this part!

  • The easiest way to understand this is say u let the bank borrow 1000$ and they let someone else borrow 900$. If u went to the bank and withdrew that 1000$ would the bank tell u u have to wait until they got the 900$ back?
