Brilliant Historical Charts and Discussion of Debt and Fractional Reserve Banking

by Mira Tekelova

 

Following is a wonderful conversation between financial journalist Kate Welling and economist Lacy Hunt. Some of you might find this interesting.

[sws_button class=”” size=”sws_btn_large” align=”” href=”/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/historical-charts-and-discussion1.pdf” target=”_blank” label=”Read the pdf document: Historical charts and discussion” template=”sws_btn_default” textcolor=”” bgcolor=”” bgcolorhover=”” glow=”sws_btn_glow_blue”] [/sws_button]

 

It contains two things of note:

a)  important historical charts going back to the 1870s showing long term fluctuations in debt (and other phenomena like the velocity of money);

b) a great discussion of why old-time economists like Fisher, Minsky and Kildleberger (now ignored or rejected by contemporary economists) were against fractional reserve banking.
