“Under fractional reserve banking a constant money supply is not growth-neutral; it requires and pushes growth.”

“The growth has become uneconomic.”

“The fact that we have had such enormous financial failures and meltdowns on the basis of fractional reserve banking, should make the public much more eager to seek some sort of reform.”

Prof Herman Daly  has also written a foreword to the new book “Modernising Money – Why our monetary system is broken and how it can be fixed”, which you can read here.
