The Licence to Print Money
We’ve given the banks a real-life licence to print money. And they’ve used this to blow up the economy and pass the costs back onto ordinary people.
We all know it’s illegal to print your own fivers or tenners at home. But when a bank creates money, they don’t print it on paper bank notes – they just type numbers into your bank account (which is just a record in a computer database). This type of money is just digital, just numbers in an account. And because the laws that govern money haven’t been updated since 1844, there’s no law against the banks creating this type of digital money.
Bankers on Benefits?
Shockingly, banks are the most heavily subsidised businesses in the world. We give them over £130 billion in subsidies and benefits every year. Without these subsidies and benefits, the banks wouldn’t be making any profits, and they certainly wouldn’t be paying bonuses right now.
The Bailouts
Banks used their power to create money effectively out of nothing to pump hundreds of billions into risky mortgages and push the prices of housing out of reach of ordinary people.
The authorities had designed some rules and regulations to stop this process getting out of hand. But the banks found clever ways around the these rules. By late 2007, the amount of money they were creating each year was completely out of control.
