Banks don’t lend money, they create it
youtube 2014 Demystifying monetary and banking terminology – by Ib Ravn
Banks create account money in the process called “lending”, so why is that term still used? What money is and what banks do are quite mystifying to many people. Richard A. Werner has proposed three theories of banking: Banking as financial intermediation, fractional reserve banking, and the credit creation theory of banking. I argue that they are suitable to three different banking systems: warehouse banking, banks with gold reserves and pure account-money banks. A certain historical progression may be identified between these three banking systems, and this helps explain why terms from older forms (warehouse banking and gold-reserve banks) persist today. Additionally, banks have a vested interest in not being too candid about what goes on behind the bank counter, in that the popular warehouse theory of banking legitimizes the charging of interest: Depositors must be compensated for the unavailability of their funds, right? I conclude by proposing some relevant changes in banking and monetary terminology.

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it’s essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked, questions like; where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does this mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when the monetary, and financial system, breaks down? A film by Michael Oswald, Produced by Mike Horwath, featuring Ben Dyson of Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins of The New Economics Foundation, Ann Pettifor, the “HBOS Whistleblower” Paul Moore, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from the Jubliee Debt Campaign.

Princes of the Yen
Michael Oswald’s film “Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy” 『円の支配者』reveals how Japanese society was transformed to suit the agenda and desire of powerful interest groups, and how citizens were kept entirely in the dark about this. Based on the book of the same title by Professor Richard Werner, a visiting researcher at the Bank of Japan during the 90s crash, during which the stock market dropped by 80% and house prices by up to 84%. The film uncovers the real cause of this extraordinary period in recent Japanese history.

Der Schein trügt
https://derscheintruegt.com/ Eine Expedition in die Rätsel des Geldes Dokumentarfilm / 97 Minuten
| in WHAT we TRUST | DER SCHEIN TRÜGT | DEVISES TROMPEUSES |
| English version | Deutsche Version | Version française |
Im Geld schmilzt die Welt. Ob Sex, Kartoffeln oder Waffen: Das Zaubermittel Geld, kann alles zu allem wandeln. Die folgenreichste Erfindung der Menschheit ist ebenso genial wie fatal, sagt der ehemalige Notenbanker und Geldforscher Bernard Lietaer. „It turns the mind into a brezel” Ein Zaubermittel, das alles bedeutet und doch keinerlei Wert hat. Es wird aus dem nichts geschaffen, vermehrt sich exponentiell und bezieht seinen Wert doch durch Mangel. Armut garantiert seinen Wert: Hätten alle genug Geld, hätte es keinen Wert. Es soll sich um ein Tauschmittel handeln, doch nur 2% der Billionen, die täglich um den Erdball geschossen werden, dienen dem Austausch von Waren und Dienstleistungen. Der Philologe Jochen Hörisch zerlegt die Terminologie des Geldes und entdeckt die Religion. Kein Wunder: An beides muss man eben glauben. Angesichts der aktuellen Glaubenskrise bereitet sich Peter Spannbauer getreu seiner Erkenntnis „Gold und Silber kann man nicht essen” auf die ersten Monate nach dem Zusammenbruch des Geldsystems vor. Doch der Wie-werde-ich-reich Guru Bodo Schäfer lehrt uns weiterhin tapfer, wie wir uns in 7 Jahren die erste Million ersparen. Bernard Lietaer ist überzeugt davon, dass die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen der Menschheit innerhalb des globalen monopolistischen Geldsystems nicht zu lösen sind. Seine Vision findet in einem Armenviertel am Rande des brasilianischen Fortaleza die Verwirklichung. Eine zweite selbst erfundene Währung, der Palmas, hat in dem Viertel in mitten der Armut eine blühende Wirtschaft aufkeimen lassen. 40 solcher Banken arbeiten bereits erfolgreich in Brasilien und im Wochentakt werden neue gegründet. Selbst gedrucktes Geld funktioniert nicht nur, sondern oft auch besser. Davon zeugen tausende lokaler, ergänzender Währungen weltweit. Paul Singer, Brasiliens Staatssekretär für solidarische Ökonomie bringt die Sache auf den Punkt: Wir müssen die Macht über unser Geld zurückgewinnen.

Tauschen, sprechen, begehren – Eine Kritik der unreinen Vernunft
Alexander Kluge im Gespräch mit Jochen Prof. Dr. Jochen Hörisch 2011
Der Geist ist abgeleitet vom Geld – so die These des Literaturwissenschaftlers Jochen Hörisch, der in seinem neuen Buch Kritik der unreinen Vernunft die Erkenntnis vom Kopf auf die Füße zu stellen versucht: Erst tun die Menschen etwas, danach ziehen sie daraus Einsichten. Industrielle Praxis und Welthandel haben die Abstraktionen erst erfunden. Dass das Denken also im Geld und dem Warentausch seine Wurzel hat, macht die Vernunft unrein, aber umso vitaler, sagt Hörisch.

By Films For Action / filmsforaction.org 2015 13 Films about Post-Growth Economics – A Post-Growth economy is not only necessary for planetary survival, but will make our lives way better, too. These films explain why.
GDP is a terrible way to measure economic progress. A post-growth future is about growing things that actually matter: happiness, health and social well-being. Every day on the TV, belt-way politicians and economists tell us the answer to our problems is more econcomic growth. And yet, a growing number of indictators show that this kind of “progress” isn’t progress at all. It’s actually killing the planet – and isn’t actually measuring the kind of progress that actually matters.
The kind of economic growth they keep talking about simply can’t continue on a finite planet with finite resources. We could try to keep our extractive economy going till the ecological web we’re a part of starts collapsing – but, I don’t think that would end well for us. It’s time we throw this absurd economist logic out the door, understand some basic truths about our relationship to the planet, and start defining progress in a way that makes sense.
